The microstate of Monaco made their debut at the fourth Eurovision Song Contest, when it took place in Cannes, France.

Broadcaster Télé Monte-Carlo (TMC) enjoyed great success in their initial run of participations between 1959 and 1979; finishing in the top 5 on ten occasions, and winning in 1971.

Their victory came courtesy of Séverine and her song Un Banc, Un Arbre, Une Rue (‘A Bench, a Tree, a Street’) which enjoyed international chart success, reaching the top 10 in Belgium, France, Norway, Ireland, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

The Monégasque delegation returned to the Contest between 2004 and 2006, with their last entry (so far), Séverine Ferrer’s La Coco-Dance, being the first competing song to feature the Tahitian language.
