France Triumphs at Junior Eurovision 2025 with Lou Deleuze's 'Ce monde'

On December 13, 2025, France clinched its fourth victory at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest held in Tbilissi, Georgia. Eleven-year-old Lou Deleuze represented France with her heartfelt song "Ce monde," penned and composed by Linh, captivating both juries and the public. Lou achieved an impressive total of 248 points, leading by a historic margin of 71 points over her closest rivals Ukraine and Georgia.

Lou Deleuze topped the jury vote with 152 points and secured second place in the public vote with 96 points. This win ties France with Georgia for the most victories in the contest’s history, marking a remarkable achievement since France's return to the competition in 2018. Notably, France has not placed outside the top five since then, with previous wins in 2020 (Valentina), 2022 (Lissandro), and 2023 (Zoé Clauzure).

The Junior Eurovision, organized by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), is a prominent event featuring young talents aged 9 to 14, drawing up to 40 million viewers. The competition allows online voting, including from the participants’ home countries, differing from the main Eurovision contest. Lou expressed her joy after the win, stating, "I am super emotional. I didn't expect this at all. I am super happy."

This latest victory not only highlights France's growing prominence in the contest but also brings a festive boost to French cultural pride as the holiday season approaches.
