Fleurs, also graphically rendered as Fleur(s) and FLEURs, is a studio album by Italian singer-songwriter Franco Battiato, issued in 1999. Except for two new songs, the album consists of cover versions of Italian and international classics, mainly from the 1960s.[1] The album was described as "delicate, elegant and enjoyable."[2] The album was followed by Fleurs 3 (2002) and Fleurs 2 (2008).[2] The Battiato's version of The Rolling Stones' "Ruby Tuesday" was later featured in the musical score of Alfonso Cuarón's 2006 film Children of Men.
