Luxembourg was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1965 with the song "Poupée de cire, poupée de son", written by Serge Gainsbourg, and performed by French singer France Gall. The Luxembourgish participating broadcaster, the Compagnie Luxembourgeoise de Télédiffusion (CLT), selected its entry through a national final, after having previously selected the performer internally. The song went on to win the contest, bringing Luxembourg their second Eurovision victory.
Tiercé des Animatrices
Tiercé des Animatrices was the finale to a series organised by RTL to find the best television presenter out of three candidates.[1][2] The finale of Tiercé des Animatrices was broadcast live on 21 February 1965 from the Grand Auditorium de la Villa Louvigny, Luxembourg City and was hosted by Jacques Navadic.[1] Although the actual premise of the show was unrelated to the Eurovision Song Contest, France Gall performed an interval act during the show in which she performed four songs and one was chosen to represent Luxembourg at the Eurovision Song Contest 1965.[1][3][4]
