French mainstream radio is good, and FIP is very good on that list. I like to listen to it from time to time to just realize how much eclectic genres there are (I am 'ot really into music, just listening casually). Another gem is the music played when the national radios are on strike. This is a special curated playlist just for that occasion (or a technical disaster) and the music is really good. I once switched on France Culture and there was sick music, thought "great they are on strike" (yes, quite an unusual reaction) and the host was back and said "to those who just joined, we are not on strike, just listening to some nice music"
