Although a song in French won the very first Eurovision Song Contest, Refrain, it represented Switzerland, It wouldn’t take long for France to catch up as the first three of France’s five victories in the Eurovision Song Contest were achieved in the very early years and by 1969 their record of four wins was unmatched.
In 1977 France won the Eurovision Song Contest for the fifth, and to date the last time. The song L'Oiseau Et L'Enfant was performed by Marie Myriam, and her victory meant a new record in Eurovision Song Contest history.
One placing that France had never got in the ranking was the last place… until 2014 when the band Twin Twin came 26th and last in the Grand Final with Moustache. In 2016 France returned to the Top 10, and in the charts, with Amir and J’ai Cherché which narrowly missed a place in the top five in Stockholm.
