I've been trying to track down a tune for months - I think I first heard it as ch5 usa ident music...anyway, I was listening to Talksport on Sunday, and I thought I heard the song, and it was Reckoner by Radiohead...which then led to LA RITOURNELLE by Sebastien Tellier, which is the song I've been searching for...blimey, did the mighty Radiohead......? Did they.....? Quite shocked that Sebastien is the wacky dude who did Eurovision on the golf buggy some years ago.
Anyway, I was wondering if any musos could identify the influences on this song, LA RITOURNELLE. To me, it sounds like something I've heard in a late 60s, early 70s film soundtrack...dunno...whatcha "reckon"?

I reckon I need to make a cup of tea then read your post again.
This is all very Sebastien Tellier, isn't it? Oh you English people with your tea and biscuits and your sexual sportswear - you do make me larf, you do! Yes, yes - I! You do! 
I'm just listening to this now, never heard it before.
In the 1st few seconds, as much from the drums as anything, it reminded me of 50 ways to leave your lover, by Paul Simon.
I'm still listening to it

Thought I had heard something like it once when put on hold by an insurance company.
I'm busy multi-tasking. Can't give this my full attention right now.
That Jane Birkin sitting in her pants drinking tea...cor blimey, guv'nor...
She had to flee to France - it was against the law to be sexy in England.
Sorry Vel. That's the only remote connection to any real actual song I got.
Other than that I couldn't stand any more.
Foinavon has the closest answer.

Just played it. To me it sounds like the sort of thing Air/Underworld/The Aloof were doing in the 90s. It doesn't sound like anything I know from the 60s/70s.
Paul Simon is a good call too...Lalo Schifren meets the Beach Boys...?
He's French. 
You expecting a straight answer, anytime soon?

He has mentioned Dennis Wilson and Gene Clark as big influences...

Sebastien Tellier interview
The French singer/songwriter talks making music, touring and Eurovision

"My parents listened to a lot of acoustic music, but Electronic music gave me the chance to find something new and to invent"
Musically, who inspired you in your youth?
Sébastien Tellier: "Do you know Julio Iglesias? And of course, all the Italian music. When I was young, mainstream music was very popular in France and so I think I have Italian or Latin melody in my blood now. I was not especially interested in Disco and only discovered Italo Disco when I was in my twenties – I preferred artists like Umberto Tozzi, Lucio Battisti and Angelo Branduardi."

Sounds tonally related to Windmills of your Mind, to me. Plus not too dissimilar tempo, speed the words are sung at and the piano/strings.
