Deja-Vu

We no longer present what a **Local Selection** is. She participates for the first time in the 33rd edition of the French Song Contest.
It is a famous French expression, it can be translated as "*already seen*", it describes the feeling of having already experienced a situation which actually took place for the first time. It would also be the memory of a subconscious reverie.

To summarize, the expression means the feeling of having already witnessed or having already experienced a present situation, accompanied by a feeling of unreality, of strangeness. This is why this is the name of this **Local Selection**, you might have a feeling of already seen through the music offered.
