Oops.I would put that album right near the top then.So many of the Zeuhl bands don't really sing words either, they sing these melodies and chants.

Nope, they come from Belfort, a town in the east of France.
But that's just a technical detail, slightly far from the topic.

What makes this tougher is that you are asking for best French language album.That excludes a lot of my favourite French bands like Zao,Magma,Eider Stelaire,One Shot,Nebelnest,Eskaton,Shub Niggurath,Heldon,Rahmann,Weidorje and on and on.
A good question though.Here's five that i like a lot.
NIL-Nil Novo Sub Sole
Moving Gelatine Plates-Self-titled
Ange-Caricatures
Maldoror-L'arbre-Cimitiere
Etron Fou Leloubans-Les Poumons Gonfles

As a frog, I can say that Magma dosesn't use the french lanaguage. Bless them ! The words in french prog are terribly cheesy. Happy the one that doesn't understand.
For ANGE's EMILE JACOTEY(1974), it's ok with words and music.
 
 
For me the best french prog albums (even if not really prog in music books) are MELODY NELSON et L'HOMME A TETE DE CHOU by SERGE GAINSBOURG.
 
 
 
 
I will also add these two most recent ones by SEBASTIEN TELLIER : L'INCROYABLE VERITE (Close to Canterbury and Bobby Wyatt),  and KATERINE : LES CREATURES (with a free jazz mood)

In French language? Of the albums I have I think I'll go with Lazuli's latest, [4603] Battements.

yes very difficult, so I'll forgo the old stuff; for new I'd say Philharmonie's Le Dernier Mot is easily among the ten best (it's instrumental so there isn't any actual 'language'  Smile )
