"C'est Noël" is a French popular song composed in 1956 by Henri Betti with the lyrics by Jean Manse. Story In 1956, Henri Betti composed the music for the film ''Honoré de Marseille'' in which he also composed the music of four songs with lyrics by Jean Manse, all of which are performed by Fernandel. ''C'est Noël'' was one of the four songs that Fernandel sings in the film, but the scene was cut in the editing. So it appears only in the record released the same year with the other three songs of the film (''Tout ça c'est Marseille'', ''Quel plaisir ! Quel travail !'' and ''Oh !
