Notes:
Scheduled on februray the 18th and 25th and on march the 4th, at 12.30, the 1979 selection was never broadcasted because of a large strike of the SFP technicians (Société Française de Production = French Production Compagny). The two semi finals have been recorded though but were never showed on TV. The host was Marc Menant, a sport journalist who became the french commentator for the ESC 79.
For that reason a professionnal jury watched the two shows and choosed the song. The final placing is not kown. Extracts from the semi finals have been broadcasted the year later on TF1.National Finals for : France
