Une Petite Française (English translation: "A Little French Girl") was the Monegasque entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1977, performed in French by Michèle Torr.
The song is a ballad, with Torr describing herself as an average Frenchwoman, rather than the cosmopolitan types more commonly associated with that country. She asks her audience to be the judge of whether she should have left her home for a career in music.
The song was performed second on the night (following Ireland's The Swarbriggs Plus Two with It's Nice To Be In Love Again and preceding the Netherlands' Heddy Lester with De Mallemolen). At the close of voting, it had received 96 points, placing 4th in a field of 18.
It was succeeded as Monegasque representative at the 1978 Contest by Caline & Olivier Toussaint with Les Jardins De Monaco.
