"Les Chemins de l'Amour" ("The Ways of Love") is a 1940 valse chantée, or sung waltz, by Francis Poulenc to lyrics by Jean Anouilh. It was written for soprano voice as part of Poulenc's incidental music for Anouilh's new play Léocadia and exists with two accompaniments: piano only (catalogue FP 106-Ia) and chamber ensemble (cat. FP 106-Ib). The rest of the incidental music is lost.
