Eurovision Song Contest 1956 (the only occasion on which Contest rules allowed two entries per country), performed in French byDany Dauberson .
The song was performed twelfth on the night (followingGermany 'sFreddy Quinn withSo Geht Das Jede Nacht and precedingLuxembourg 'sMichèle Arnaud withLes amants de minuit ). As the scoreboard for this Contest has never been made public, it is impossible to say how well the song did.Lyrically, the song is in the "chanson" style popular at the early Contests, with Dauberson singing about the difficulties she has in trying to forget a former lover.
It was succeeded as French representative at the 1957 Contest by
Paule Desjardins with "La belle amour ".
