France in the Eurovision Song Contest

France has been represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 67 times since its debut at the first contest in Template:Escyr. France is one of only seven countries to be present at the first contest, and has been absent from only two contests in its history, missing the Template:Escyr and Template:Escyr contests. Since 2001, the French participating broadcaster is {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}. Along with Template:Esccnty, Template:Esccnty, Template:Esccnty, and the Template:Esccnty, France is one of the "Big Five" countries that are automatically prequalified for the final, due to their participating broadcasters being the largest financial contributors to the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). France has won the contest five times.

France first won the contest in Template:Escyr with "{{#invoke:Lang|lang}}" performed by André Claveau. Three more victories followed in the 1960s, with "{{#invoke:Lang|lang}}" performed by Jacqueline Boyer in Template:Escyr, "{{#invoke:Lang|lang}}" performed by Isabelle Aubret in Template:Escyr and "{{#invoke:Lang|lang}}" performed by Frida Boccara, who won in Template:Escyr in a four-way tie with the Template:Esccnty, Template:Esccnty, and the Template:Esccnty. France's fifth victory came in Template:Escyr, with the song "{{#invoke:Lang|lang}}" performed by Marie Myriam. During its successful run in the 20th century, France has also finished second four times, with "{{#invoke:Lang|lang}}" by Paule Desjardins (Template:Escyr), "{{#invoke:Lang|lang}}" by Catherine Ferry (Template:Escyr), "White and Black Blues" by Joëlle Ursull (Template:Escyr), and "{{#invoke:Lang|lang}}" by Amina (Template:Escyr), who lost out to Sweden's "{{#invoke:Lang|lang}}" by Carola in a tie-break.

After reaching the top five in 23 contests in the 20th century, France has had less success in the 21st century, only making the top five four times, with "{{#invoke:Lang|lang}}" by Natasha St-Pier fourth (Template:Escyr), "{{#invoke:Lang|lang}}" by Sandrine François fifth (Template:Escyr), "{{#invoke:Lang|lang}}" by Barbara Pravi second (Template:Escyr), and "{{#invoke:Lang|lang}}" by Slimane fourth (Template:Escyr). France's other top 10 results in the century are "Et s'il fallait le faire" by Patricia Kaas eighth (Template:Escyr), and "{{#invoke:Lang|lang}}" by Amir sixth (Template:Escyr). France finished last for the first time in Template:Escyr, when "{{#invoke:Lang|lang}}" by Twin Twin received only two points.

Organisation

Several national broadcasters have successively participated in the contest representing France over the years: {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} (RTF; 1956–1964), {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} (ORTF; 1965–1974), {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} (TF1; 1975–1981), {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} (1983–1992), and {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} (1993–2000). Since 2001, {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} is who participates representing France, with the final being broadcast on France 2 (1993–1998, 2015–present) and France 3 (1999–2014), and the semi-final which France votes in was broadcast on France 4 (2005–2010, 2016–2019), later France Ô (2011–2015) and since 2021, Template:Ill. The semi-final in 2004 was not broadcast; viewers who were close enough to Monaco were able to watch that year's semi-final via TMC Monte-Carlo. Radio coverage has been provided, although not every year or since 2013, by {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} from 1971 to 1998 and from 2001 to 2012, {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} (also in 1976). In 1982, RTL Radio transmitted the contest due to the country's absence that year.

The process to select the French entry in the contest has changed over the years, with either a national final or an internal selection (occasionally a combination of both formats) having been held.

Contest history

France is one of the most successful countries in Eurovision, winning the contest five times, coming second five times and coming third seven times. However, France has only hosted the contest three times (1959, 1961, and 1978).<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> France was ranked first in number of victories (either alone or tied with other countries) without interruptions from 1960 to 1993. Moreover, "{{#invoke:Lang|lang}}" performed by Amina was close to victory in Template:Escyr, when it finished in joint first place with the same number of points as Template:Esccnty. Therefore, the 'countback' rule applied, but both countries had an equal number of twelve points (four lots), but the victory went to Sweden, when France had fewer 10-point scores. With the current rules in place, France would have won the competition, because they received points from more countries than Sweden. One year before, France was also close to winning with "White and Black Blues" by Joëlle Ursull. The song finished in joint-second place with Template:Esccnty's entry.

However, in recent years, the French results have been mixed. Since 1998, when the televoting was introduced, France has frequently ranked in the bottom 10 countries in the final, coming 15th (Template:Esccnty), 18th (Template:Esccnty), 19th (Template:Esccnty and Template:Esccnty), 22nd (Template:Esccnty, Template:Esccnty, and Template:Esccnty), 23rd (Template:Esccnty, Template:Esccnty, and Template:Esccnty), 24th (Template:Esccnty and Template:Esccnty), 25th (Template:Esccnty), and 26th (last place, for the first time in its Eurovision history, in Template:Esccnty).

France has had some good results during the 21st century. In Template:Escyr, "{{#invoke:Lang|lang}}" performed by Canadian singer Natasha St-Pier came fourth, being the favourite to win the contest by fans and odds. This good result was carried into the Template:Escyr, when "{{#invoke:Lang|lang}}" by Sandrine François came fifth and received the Marcel Bezençon international press award for the best entry of that year. The positive experience with Sébastien Tellier in Template:Escyr created considerable interest among the French showbiz for the contest, which resulted in Eurovision being seen by the French media as a valuable advertising campaign. With these ambitions, Patricia Kaas represented France in the Template:Escyr with "{{#invoke:Lang|lang}}", finishing in eighth place. Kaas received the Marcel Bezençon artistic award, which was voted on by previous winners and presented to the best artist. In the Template:Escyr, Amir with his song "{{#invoke:Lang|lang}}" ended in sixth place and broke a 40-year record by scoring the most points in France's Eurovision history, by scoring 257 points in the final. That record would later be broken once again in Template:Escyr, as Barbara Pravi with her song "{{#invoke:Lang|lang}}" finished in second place with 499 points, France's best result since 1991, only 25 points behind eventual winners Måneskin from Italy. Slimane finished in fourth place in Template:Escyr with his song "Mon amour".

Absences

Since its debut in 1956, France has only missed two contests, in 1974 and 1982. In 1974, after selecting a singer and song to represent the country at the contest, France withdrew after the French president Georges Pompidou died in the week of the contest.<ref>History - Eurovision Song Contest 1974 Eurovision.tv</ref> If it had participated, France would have been represented by Dani with the song "{{#invoke:Lang|lang}}".

In November 1981, TF1 declined to enter the Eurovision Song Contest for 1982, with the head of entertainment, Pierre Bouteiller, saying, "The absence of talent and the mediocrity of the songs were where annoyance set in. Eurovision is a monument to inanity [sometimes translated as "drivel"]."<ref name="eightytwo">1982 Eurovision source in French</ref> {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} took over due to the public reaction to TF1's withdrawal, hosting a national final to select the French entry as well, from the 1983 contest.

France and the "Big Five"

Since 1999, France, along with Template:Esccnty, Template:Esccnty, and the Template:Esccnty, have automatically qualified for the Eurovision final regardless of their results in previous contests.<ref name="50yrs">Template:Cite book</ref> The participating broadcasters from these countries earned this special status by being the four biggest financial contributors to the EBU, and subsequently became known as the "Big Four". Template:Esccnty returned to the contest in 2011, resulting in the countries becoming members of a "Big Five".<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
