French jury members edit

Before the start of the live show from Cannes, French jury members were presented by Catherine Langeais to television viewers from a studio in Paris. This video footage can be viewed in person at the INA centers in France (record). Apart from the jury members also named in the catalog record, it is difficult to identify the other jury members. I have viewed the video footage, and transcribed phonetically the names of the other members:

  • Jules Dardet/Dardais? (ancien chef d‘équipe à la compagnie des eaux = former team leader at the Compagnie des Eaux but it is not known if it's the Paris Water Company or the Compagnie générale des eaux)
  • Jeannine Barlet/Barlais? (chanteuse = singer)
  • René Moia/Moya? (bijoutier = jeweller)
  • Jean des/dess Barbès? (peintre = painter)
  • Jacqueline Demiseult? (seems to be a known personality to TV viewers because her profession is not given?)
  • Michel Franckel/Frankel? (docteur, chirurgien-dentiste = dentist)
  • Mademoiselle Edvie? Jouet? (administration, fonctionnaire des PTT = employee of PTT)

Any help in identifying the persons with their correct names is appreciated. EurovisionLibrarian (talk) 15:31, 30 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
