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.

Composed in October 1940,^[1] the song is dedicated to the comedian and singer Yvonne Printemps, who sang it at the premiere of the play Léocadia on 1 December 1940. The song was somewhat successful, and Printemps recorded it.

Max Eschig published the score in 1945.^[2]
