France in the Eurovision Song Contest 2000
France was represented by Sofia Mestari, with the song '"On aura le ciel", at the 2000 Eurovision Song Contest, which took place on 13 May in Stockholm. This was the second year in which broadcaster France 3 had been in charge of the French participation, and as in 1999 they opted to choose their entry via public selection, with a national final being organised on 15 February 2000. However the poor result obtained by Nayah in 1999 followed by the even worse result in 2000, together with the controversy surrounding the 2000 selection process, led to France 3 changing to internal selection in the years following, initially with much greater success.

14 entries were selected to compete in the national final after France 3 requested proposals from record companies in October 1999.The final took place on 15 February 2000 at L'Olympia in Paris, hosted by Julien Lepers and Karen Cheryl. The winning song was determined by public televoting and a jury panel. The jury panel included former French Eurovision representatives Patrick Fiori and Marie Myriam. Only the top three placings were announced.
