Partenaire Particulier (French pronunciation: [paʁtənɛʁ paʁtikylje]) is a French pop, electronic, and new wave band from Bordeaux whose popularity peaked in the mid-1980s. It was formed by Eric Fettweis, Pierre Béraud-Sudreau, and Dominique Delaby. Three of their singles were ranked on the SNEP chart (top 50), including their signature song, "Partenaire Particulier". They stopped releasing albums in 1989, although they produced records in the early 1990s using different pseudonyms. The group made a comeback in 2006 with Fettweis and Béraud-Sudreau and began writing a new album, though creative differences led to Béraud-Sudreau's departure, leaving Fettweis as the sole permanent member of the band. He released Geek in 2011, and a decade later, followed it with Qu'allons-nous devenir ? as well as Nuits particulières, a collaborative album with former Les Avions vocalist and guitarist Jean-Pierre Morgand.
