Looking for something topical to stream on Canal+ Australie this May? With events like Eurovision, Cannes Film Festival , and Tania Dutel’s Australian comedy tour all starting this week, there’s a lot to look forward to. In this article, we share three programs showing on Canal+ Australie that tie into these moments, bringing French music, comedy, and film history straight to your screen.
Louane à l’Olympia : France’s Eurovision 2025 entrant in concert
Louane, France’s Eurovision 2025 entrant, is already a household name thanks to her acting roles in The Bélier Family and Take a Chance on Me. But before she hits the Eurovision stage, you can get a closer look at the artist in a completely different setting.
Louane à l’Olympia, filmed in April 2024, showcases the singer in a stripped-back, intimate concert at Paris’ famed L’Olympia. The performance features tracks from her latest album Sentiments, offering a more personal side to her artistry. If you’re a fan of Louane’s music, or Eurovision in general, this concert is an excellent way to experience her talents in a new light.

Tania Dutel – discover her before you see her live in Australia
Tania Dutel is bringing her sharp, satirical comedy to Australian stages this May. But if you’re on the fence about attending her show, or simply can’t make it, there’s another way to enjoy her humour.
Her show Les autres, filmed live at the Théâtre Antoine in Paris in March 2024, offers a deep dive into her unique take on society’s gaze, and its effects on women’s bodies, choices, and lives. Dutel’s comedy is brutally honest, with a refreshing mix of vulnerability and satire that’s as thought-provoking as it is funny.

Cannes 1939: The Festival that never happened
The Cannes Film Festival 2025 opens on May 13, making this the perfect time to revisit the festival’s earliest days.
Cannes 1939: Le Festival n’aura pas lieu explores the first-ever Cannes Film Festival that, due to the outbreak of WWII, never took place. This documentary unpacks the fascinating history behind the festival’s cancellation and the filmmakers, producers, and artists who were involved in its creation. For anyone interested in the history of cinema and the legacy of Cannes, it’s a must-watch.
