March 2, 2026 by Noy Yehoyada Comment Closed

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Rumours point to 17‑year‑old opera singer Monroe as France’s likely internally‑selected act for Eurovision 2026 in Vienna, with strong French media backing. The French national broadcaster (France Télévisions) has not yet officially revealed the country’s representative for Eurovision 2026 in Vienna. However, the well-known French newspaper "Le Parisien" has shaken things up today. According to a dramatic new report, which confirms information first shared by blogger Clément Garin, France’s entrant will be 17‑year‑old opera singer Monroe. It is worth stressing that "Le Parisien" is considered a highly reliable source with significant weight, as its reports frequently rely on leaks and inside information from within the broadcaster.

In the past, the paper has also tipped other French acts before their official announcements, such as Tom Leeb in 2020.
