I'm not sure if being from the north of France changes things, but I think the Renaud song is much more familiar to folks I know than the wind.

This is probably heavily population-dependent. I don’t think they named the Mistral-class ships after the song or the sweet.

The song actually refers to a kind of candy named "Mistral gagnant"
