La Mécanique du Cœur is the sixth studio album by the French band Dionysos, released on 5 November 2007.

The title can be translated as the mechanics of the heart; the album complements the book of the same name written by Mathias Malzieu, the band's frontman.

A lot of the band's oeuvre has been inspired by the work of Tim Burton, and the artwork from this album has strong influences from Corpse Bride.

This album features many guest appearances from prominent French stars: Eric Cantona narrates the epilogue, Olivia Ruiz (the lead singer's partner) appears on several tracks, Grand Corps Malade co-writes two tracks, Jean Rochefort sings on one song to mention but a few.

The album follows a strong concept, based around the book of the same name (written by the band's lead singer Mathias Malzieu).

He is born with a frozen heart which the midwife, Docteur Madeleine, replaces with a cuckoo clock – it works, but means that he must "not touch the hands.

[2] Alas, he falls in love with an Andalucian singer Miss Acacia on the streets of Edinburgh which makes his heart malfunction.

Méliès has promised to replace his old wooden heart which he does before returning to Paris, leaving Jack in the care of a nurse he once womanized.

Jack wakes up and tries to deal with his new body, which is hard even for himself to recognise due to the changes and developments – this gives him the chance to visit L'Extraordinarium to see Miss Acacia without her knowing his true identity.

Luc Besson's production company EuropaCorp has bought the rights for a film adaptation of the accompanying book.

The original plan was for an animation in the style of the music video for "Tais Toi Mon Cœur",[3] directed by Stéphane Berla.
