As a member of the "Big Five", France automatically qualifies to compete in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest.
Background
Prior to the 2024 contest, France has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest sixty-five times since its debut as one of seven countries to take part in Шаблон:Escyr.[1] France first won the contest in Шаблон:Esccnty with "Шаблон:Lang" performed by André Claveau. In the 1960s, they won three times, with "Tom Pillibi" performed by Jacqueline Boyer in Шаблон:Esccnty, "Шаблон:Lang" performed by Isabelle Aubret in Шаблон:Esccnty, and "Шаблон:Lang" performed by Frida Boccara, who won in Шаблон:Esccnty in a four-way tie with the Шаблон:Esccnty, Шаблон:Esccnty, and the Шаблон:Esccnty. France's fifth – and so far latest – victory came in Шаблон:Esccnty when Marie Myriam won with the song "Шаблон:Lang". France has also finished second five times, with Paule Desjardins in Шаблон:Esccnty, Catherine Ferry in Шаблон:Esccnty, Joëlle Ursull in Шаблон:Esccnty, Amina in Шаблон:Esccnty (who lost out to Шаблон:Esccnty's Carola in a tie-break), and Barbara Pravi in Шаблон:Esccnty. In the 21st century, France has had less success, only making the top ten five times, with Natasha St-Pier finishing fourth in Шаблон:Esccnty, Sandrine François finishing fifth in Шаблон:Esccnty, Patricia Kaas finishing eighth in Шаблон:Esccnty, Amir finishing sixth in Шаблон:Esccnty, and Pravi finishing second in 2021 with 499 points. In Шаблон:Esccnty, the nation finished in 16th place with the song "Шаблон:Lang" performed by La Zarra.[1]
The French national broadcaster, Шаблон:Lang, broadcasts the event within the country and delegates the selection of the nation's entry to the television channel Шаблон:Lang. The French broadcaster has used both national finals and internal selections to choose the country's entry in the past. In 2021 and Шаблон:Esccnty, the French entries were selected via the national final Шаблон:Lang,[2] a format which was also planned to be held in 2023 but was ultimately cancelled in favour of an internal selection.[3] In June 2023, Шаблон:Lang confirmed their intention to participate in the 2024 contest.[4]
Before Eurovision
Internal selection
On 8 November 2023, Шаблон:Lang announced that it had internally selected Slimane with the song "Шаблон:Lang" as the French entrant for the 2024 contest.[5] The song, composed by Slimane with Yaacov and Meïr Salah, was presented to the public on the same day, during the evening news bulletin Шаблон:Lang hosted by Anne-Sophie Lapix on France 2.[6][7]

As a member of the "Big Five", France automatically qualifies to compete in the final on 11 May 2024. In addition to its participation in the final, France is also required to broadcast and vote in one of the two semi-finals.
