- La question (pronounced [la kɛstjɔ̃]; French for "The question") is the eleventh studio album by French singer-songwriter Françoise Hardy, released in October 1971 on Sonopresse. Like many of her previous records, it was originally released without a title and came to be referred to, later on, by the name of its most popular song. It is her second album produced under Hypopotam, a production company she established in 1970. The music on the album was almost entirely composed by the Brazilian musician Tuca, who supervised the project and participated as a guitarist. One of her most sparsely produced albums, La question combines Hardy's sensual vocals with bossa nova-tinged guitar playing, touches of bass and subtle string arrangements. Lyrically, it encompasses themes of love, anxiety, eroticism and fear, attributed to instabilities in her relationship with Jacques Dutronc at that time. While the album was not well received by French audiences and radio stations upon release, it earned the acclaim of critics and came to be viewed as a turning point in Hardy's career, in which she moved toward a less commercial and more mature style. The album has since attained cult status, and is celebrated as one of the most important works in Hardy's discography. (en)

- A representative of the album's sound, "Chanson d'O" features erotic, wordles vocals, a "weightless melody", and guitar playing reminiscent of bossa nova. (en)
- – Richie Unterberger, 2015 (en)
- "Heard by itself, it might understandably be too MOR for many listeners. Heard in the context of La question, where it closes an album where spare, acoustic-flavored arrangements anchor some of Hardy's most frankly sexual deliveries, it makes an appropriately grand finale, as if bringing a love story to a happy final-credits ending."

- "Usually, when we record an album, we do not have time to rework the songs before with the composer. We ended up learning them alone in a corner and running the risk of acquiring bad habits which it would later be difficult to get rid of. Then we sang for the first time in the recording studio without being necessarily well prepared, and the recording of a song took only an hour or two at most. With Tuca, everything was different." (en)
- "La question transformed French perceptions of Françoise Hardy; the sweet girl next door had become a woman—vibrant, alive and wise beyond her years. With [the album, she] took a risk she did not have to take: she could have easily continued recording nice pop tunes until she reached her sworn retirement age of fifty. Fortunately for us, the connection she made with Tuca triggered the dormant potential inside, and together they created a timeless work of art—erotic, sensual and intensely beautiful." (en)
