France will compete in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2023 on home soil, which will be held in Nice on 26 November 2023. On 27 September 2023 it was announced by participating broadcaster France Télévisions, that Zoé Clauzure was selected as the French entrant with the song "Cœur".
Background[edit]
France debuted in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2004 with "Si on voulait bien" by Thomas Pontier.[1] Despite getting sixth place, France Télévisions decided to withdraw from the contest after 2004, saying there was no motivation to compete and that "too much Eurovision kills Eurovision".[2] France returned to the contest in 2018, and achieved second place with Angelina with the song "Jamais sans toi".[3] In the 2020 contest, Valentina represented France in Warsaw, Poland with the song "J'imagine". She placed 1st out of 12 entries with 200 points, achieving the first ever French victory at the contest and the first win for France in any Eurovision event since Eurovision Young Dancers 1989.[4] After a top 3 placement in 2021, France claimed its second victory in the 2022 contest thanks to Lissandro, who sang "Oh maman!". He won the jury voting and gained a total of 203 points, bringing Junior Eurovision back to France for a second hosting.
