For the final, we tried to uncover 5 anecdotes that you probably don’t know about the singer.
She has the support of a former winner from the North
In reality, Louane has the support, not of one, but of two former Eurovision winners: Isabelle Aubret first, winner of the 1962 edition in Luxembourg, also from Hauts-de-France, precisely from Marquette-lez-Lille (North).
She represented our country with her song «Un premier amour», a ballad by Roland Valade and Claude-Henri Vic, which scored 26 points. In a message to Louane, Isabelle Aubret said, «You fight well, you will win, you have a wonderful sensitivity that you know how to share! Good luck little Louane, little girl from the North!
The other singer who has shown support for our candidate is none other than the most recent Eurovision winner: Marie Myriam, who won the 1977 edition.
«I want to believe that finally France will win through the voice and performance of Louane, under the gaze of the most beautiful star: her own star«, wrote Marie Myriam in a message to AFP.
Louane lent her voice for a Pixar film
«I believe it is one of the proudest moments of my life«, she said in an interview with the online media Konbini. Louane was chosen to voice Violet, the girl with the power of invisibility in The Incredibles 2, a film by the famous Pixar studio. A true childhood dream come true!

She gave a speech at the UN headquarters in New York
In 2018, the young woman from the North gave a speech at the UN headquarters in the United States, in New York, for a fund called the Women’s Peace & Humanitarian Fund for which she was an ambassador. «I want to fight because I realize the luck I have, the privileges I have…», she said in an interview with Brut, in collaboration with France Télévisions.

She has already sung at the Pierre Mauroy stadium
At the very beginning of her career, even before the release of the film «La famille Bélier» which earned her a César Award for Most Promising Actress, the young singer had already been noticed by… Patrick Bruel. Il avait repéré la jeune adolescente blonde lors de son passage à The Voice et avait exprimé à plusieurs reprises son soutien sur ses réseaux sociaux. C’est donc tout naturellement qu’il l’a invitée à le rejoindre lors du dernier concert de sa tournée en 2014 au Stade Pierre Mauroy. Parmi d’autres grands noms tels que Jean-Louis Aubert, Florent Pagny, Michaël Youn et Indila, Louane a également figuré à l’affiche de cet événement.
