France was represented by Betty Mars, with the song '"Comé-comédie", at the 1972 Eurovision Song Contest, which took place on 25 March in Edinburgh. The song was chosen internally by broadcaster ORTF.

At Eurovision[edit]

On the night of the final Mars performed second in the running order, following Germany and preceding Ireland. "Comé-comédie" was a song in a distinctively French chanson style which Mars performed in a manner very reminiscent of Edith Piaf. At the close of voting it had picked up 81 points, placing France 11th of the 18 entries.[1] Oddly, for a song which had been regarded as having limited appeal outside Francophone territories, it received its highest mark (9 out of 10) from the two United Kingdom jurors.[2]
