Isabelle was surrounded by music from an early age. In the Gall family, music was a family affair. Her father, Robert Gall, was a former student at the Conservatoire, a singer and writer (he composed La Mamma for Charles Aznavour). His mother, Cécile Berthier, was the daughter of Paul Berthier, co-founder of the Manécanterie des Petits Chanteurs à la Croix de Bois. At the age of 5, she took her first piano lessons. At 11, she also wanted to learn the guitar. As a teenager, she joined forces with her twin brothers, Patrice and Philippe, to play. In the spring of 1963, her father quickly encouraged her, whom he nicknamed her little corporal, to record her first songs.

Very soon, Robert Gall signs a contract with Philips for his still minor daughter. Denis Bourgeois, who had already taken care of Serge Gainsbourg's career, became her artistic director. Under his guidance, Isabelle became France Gall, a name that sounded better for the business and that would not interfere with that of Isabelle Aubret, the star singer of the time. On the day she turned 16, her first album Ne sois pas si bête was heard on all the radio stations. It was an immediate success. Denis Bourgeois then had the idea of asking his protégé, Serge Gainsbourg, to write for France Gall. The future proved him right: many songs such as N'écoute pas les idoles and Laisse tomber les filles topped the charts. His collaborations with songwriters such as Joe Dassin, Pierre Delanöe and Alain Goraguer increased. At the end of 1964, Sacré Charlemagne, the album written for him by his father, was another huge success, selling over 2 million copies worldwide.

In March 1965, France Gall was chosen to represent Luxembourg at the Eurovision Song Contest. Her Poupée de cire, poupée de son (Wax Doll, Sound Doll) won the Grand Prix, and the song exploded, recorded in no less than five languages, including Japanese. Then came 1966 and Les sucettes de Gainsbourg, a song that France Gall - not understanding its significance at the time - sang with disconcerting naivety, but which caused a scandal. Unbeknownst to her, she became the first French Lolita; her usual fans shunned her and, after further flops, the Gainsbourg-Gall tandem no longer worked. When France Gall finally realised the implications of the song, she felt humiliated. The singer moved to Germany, where she tried various collaborations (notably with Joe Dassin, Etienne Roda-Gil and Jacques Lanzmann).

However, France Gall had difficulty finding her own style, unlike the singers whose lives she shared and whom she inspired. Claude François, with whom she had an impossible love affair, wrote Comme d'habitude for her in 1967, after their break-up. Then it was Julien Clerc's turn to write Souffrir par toi n'est pas souffrir in 1975, when France Gall decided to leave him after five years together. France Gall was so taken with Michel Berger's song Attends-moi that she didn't hesitate to ask his opinion on the songs her producer wanted her to record. But Michel Berger was reluctant at first and only agreed six months later, in 1974. He then offered to sing a duet with him on Mon fils rira du rock'n roll. In May 1974, he wrote La déclaration with her in mind. It was the birth of a great love between France Gall and Michel Berger. From 1975, he wrote and produced her albums, dedicating the song Lumière du jour to her.

The 1980s were among the singer's most productive years. She released two albums in a row: Paris France (1980) and Tout pour la musique (1981). Songs such as Tout pour la musique, Résiste and Il jouait du piano debout began to be sung along by her audience. In 1992, France Gall and Michel Berger recorded a second duet, this time as a full-length album. Double jeu was released in 1992, but unfortunately it was the last. After being struck by a heart attack, Michel Berger died after a game of tennis at their property in Ramatuelle on 2 August 1992.

Since then, France Gall has stayed away from recording studios, apart from a few albums in aid of the Restos du Cœurs with the Enfoirés troupe. In 2006, sensitive to the cause of the most underprivileged, she was the godmother of the Cœur d'Or operation. In 2015, she paid tribute to Michel Berger's music and staged his lyrics in the musical Résiste, which she directed with Bruck Dawit.

In her private life, France Gall married Michel Berger on 22 June 1976. Together they have two children: Pauline (born on 14 November 1978- died in 1997) and Raphaël (born on 2 April 1981).
On 7 January 2018, France Gall died of cancer at the age of 70.
