France Télévisions has revealed its commentary team for the upcoming 69th Eurovision Song Contest.
One month before the Grand Final of Eurovision 2025, broadcasters start to reveal the identity of their commentators and/or their spokespersons. France joined the list as France Télévisions announced who will provide comments for French viewers next month.
For the semi-finals, Stéphane Bern will be in charge of commentating on the two shows, most likely on Culturebox, as it was already the case in 2024. Stéphane Bern will be joined by Laurence Boccolini for the Grand Final, aired on France 2.
After a first experience in 2010, Stéphane Bern has been the French commentator since 2015, being associated with Laurence Boccolini since 2021.
France will be represented this year by Louane with her song “Maman”. As a Big Five member, the country is automatically qualified for the Grand Final of May 17.

France was one of seven countries to participate in the first Eurovision Song Contest in 1956. Since then they have participated in every contest aside from 1974 and 1982. Their withdrawal in 1974 was caused by the death of President Georges Pompidou, while 1982’s withdrawal was a result of TF1 declining to enter the contest. France has won the contest on five occasions, the most recent being in 1977 when Marie Myriam performed “L’oiseau et l’enfant”. France’s best result of the 21st century came in 2021 when Barbara Pravi finished second in Rotterdam.
