France’s resurgence of faith in the Eurovision Song Contest is clear for all to see and this is reflected in the extra efforts to select the entry for 2018. Destination Eurovision, the French broadcaster France 2’s new selection show, has captured the imagination of French Eurovision fans and others alike – and with an increased promotional push the show is likely to net the contest a larger audience than before.
