With five Eurovision Song Contests completed this decade, how is each nation fairing?

In an ongoing series, the Aussievision team will rate the performance of each Eurovision nation in alphabetical order.

We’ll look back at their results from 2021 to 2025, their qualification record, give our team’s rating, and see how they stack up against other countries.

France's Eurovision results of the 2020s

• 2021: Barbara Pravi – Voilà: 2nd in Grand Final

• 2022: Alvan and Ahez - Fulenn: 24th in Grand Final

• 2023: La Zarra – Évidemment: 16th in Grand Final

• 2024: Slimane – Mon amour: 4th in Grand Final

• 2025: Louane – Maman: 7th in Grand Final

• Top 10s: 60%

  Qualifications: Big 5 nation guaranteed spot in Grand Final

Team rating of France: 81.1%

We asked the Aussievision team to rate France's Eurovision 2020s entries on a scale of 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest).

This gave us an average overall score from the 9 contributors who voted. We then converted that into a percentage.

The scores were from 8/10 from 8 team members and a 9/10 from a single team member.

Team comments

"Three Top 10 finishes for France is a pattern, given the success of Junior Eurovision in the 2020s. If they want to win its first since 1977, they have to keep that formula but tweak a little more flair and pizzazz. Maybe, within the next five years, France might pull off a trick and win it." ~ John Christian

"France can be proud over this decade so far with three top 10 finishes. Even through Fulenn finished in a shocking 24th place back in 2022 it was a risk they needed to take. The last few years their entry and artist choices have been more calculated and reflect what people expect from France, but it has paid off for them!" ~ Kyriakos
