France Eurovision History

The French seem to have lost their way in Eurovision having not won since 1977.

In 1977 the song L'osieau et l'enfant which took the contest was sung by Marie Myriam.

They were one of the original Eurovision Song Contest countries in 1956.

The French it seems use to view the contest as not culturally good enough, however last year they did make more of an effort.

Patricia Kass came 8th in Moscow. 

In 2010 France chose  Jessy Matador singing  Alllez Olla Ole but it was received poorly and trailed in way down the field in 12th place. 

In Eurovision 2011 the artist chosen for France is Amaury Vassili. He will sing the operaratic Sognu and the song looks to have a great chance.
