Tags: Eurovision Song Contest Entry.
Messieurs les noyés de la Seine (The drowned men of the Seine) was the first Belgian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1956 performed in French by Fud Leclerc.The song was performed third on the night (following Switzerland’s Lys Assia with Das alte Karussell and preceding Germany’s Walter Andreas Schwarz with Im Wartesaal zum großen Glück). The scoreboard for the 1956 Contest has never been made public so it is impossible to say with certainty where the song placed.
