French President Emmanuel Macron is advocating for French Touch, the nation's signature electronic music genre, to be recognized as UNESCO cultural heritage. He asserts, "We are the inventors of electro. We have that French touch," positioning France alongside Germany, which secured UNESCO status for Berlin techno in 2023.

Macron's push follows UNESCO's 2022 inclusion of the French baguette, highlighting France's rich cultural tapestry. With icons like Daft Punk and Justice, French Touch's pulsating beats and robotic helmets could soon join the ranks of protected cultural treasures.

If successful, French Touch would join the baguette and Parisian zinc roof restorers on UNESCO's list, cementing its place in global cultural heritage.
