Bulles is an album by French singer-songwriter Michel Polnareff released in 1981.
With this album, the singer found more success, as it sold 800,000 copies. "Radio", "Je t'aime", and "Tam-Tam" were put into heavy rotation on French radio stations. Although mostly rock-oriented, Polnareff maintains his personality lyrically and musically. In 2001, the album was re-issued by Universal-Polygram.[1]
