France was represented by Marie Myriam , with the song "L'oiseau et l'enfant ", at the 1977 Eurovision Song Contest , which took place on 7 May in London . "L'oiseau et l'enfant" went on to bring France a fifth Eurovision victory, a record at the time.
Before Eurovision [ edit ]
Following the French success in 1976 with a song chosen through a national final, broadcaster TF1 again opted for a public selection. The selection process was a cooperation with the French songwriters and composers association SACEM .[1] 360 songs were submitted.[1]

At Eurovision [ edit ]
On the night of the final Myriam performed last in the running order, following Belgium . Pre-contest betting had suggested that the winner was likely to be one from Belgium, Germany , Ireland or the United Kingdom , with the French song not registering as a potential victor. The United Kingdom took the early initiative in the voting and held the lead until just over half way through, when a late run of high marks to "L'oiseau et l'enfant" and a dip in form from its challengers saw France claim the victory with a final total of 136 points, 15 ahead of the United Kingdom in second place.[4]
Although in later years "L'oiseau et l'enfant" attained the status of a Eurovision classic, at the time it was considered a surprising and unexpected winner. France had taken only three maximum 12s (from Finland , Germany and Switzerland ) against six for the United Kingdom and four for Ireland, but had scored more consistently across the board, being the only country to receive votes from every other national jury.[5]
