France Wins Junior Eurovision 2025 With Lou Deleuze's 'Ce monde'

The 11-year-old's 248-point victory ties France with Georgia for the most Junior wins.

Overview

  • Lou Deleuze scored 248 points in Tbilisi, earning 152 from national juries and 97 from the online public vote to finish ahead of Ukraine and Georgia.
  • The final on 13 December was the 23rd edition, with 18 countries competing under a 50/50 jury–public system that allows viewers to vote for their own country.
  • It is France's fourth Junior title following victories by Valentina in 2020, Lissandro in 2022 and Zoé Clauzure in 2023.
  • Reporting differs on the songwriting credits for 'Ce monde', with some outlets crediting Linh alone and others listing John Claes and Jonathan Thyssens alongside Linh.
  • Ongoing disputes over Israel's participation and alleged voting irregularities persist, and broadcasters in Spain, the Netherlands, Ireland, Slovenia and Iceland have announced boycotts of the planned 2026 edition in Vienna.
