Here's a recap of all the songs that competed for Luxembourg in Eurovision Song Contest from 1956 to 1993, now with some better footage. Please, enjoy! Luxembourg has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 37 times since making its debut at the first contest in 1956. Between 1956 and 1993, Luxembourg missed only the 1959 contest. Luxembourg has not participated in the contest since its last participation in 1993. Luxembourg has won the contest five times. Only Ireland (seven) and Sweden (six) have more wins. Luxembourg's first victory was in 1961 when Jean-Claude Pascal won with “Nous les amoureux“. France Gall then won in 1965 with “Poupée de cire, poupée de son“. Luxembourg achieved back-to-back victories in the early 1970s, with Vicky Leandros winning with “Après toi“ in 1972 and Anne-Marie David with “Tu te reconnaîtras“ in 1973. Luxembourg's fifth victory was in 1983, when Corinne Hermes won with “Si la vie est cadeau“. After hosting the 1984 contest, Luxembourg struggled to make an impact, only reaching the top ten twice, with Sherisse Laurence third (1986) and Lara Fabian fourth (1988). Since being relegated from taking part in 1994, the country withdrew from the contest indefinitely. In 2014, Luxembourg's Minister of Culture, Maggy Nagel, expressed her desire for the country to return to the contest. This was later explained as a “misunderstanding“. A collaboration with San Marino (SMRTV) was proposed, but it was later announced that the project would not move forward due to funding problems.
