Michèle Arnaud (, born Micheline Caré; 18 March 1919 – 30 March 1998), was a French singer, recording artist, and director. She was buried on 18 September 1998 at Montparnasse Cemetery. She is the mother of the singer Dominique Walter and the photographer Florence Gruère.

Arnaud was awarded a Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur and Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. She was the first entrant for Luxembourg in the first edition of the Eurovision Song Contest in 1956.

Biography 

After completing her primary education in Cherbourg, she went to Paris where she took a course at the Ecole Libre des Sciences Politiques. She gained two degrees in philosophy. Simultaneously with her studies, she regularly frequented cabaret clubs such as Le Tabou and La Rose Rouge.

In 1956 she was the first entrant for Luxembourg in the first edition of the Eurovision Song Contest in Lugano, participating with the songs Ne crois pas and Les amants de minuit, but was unsuccessful in winning.

On 11 July 1962, she appeared in the first-ever live television transmission via satellite from France to the United States.  Because of the orbital path of the newly launched American satellite, Telstar, the program lasted only twenty minutes.  Also appearing that evening was Yves Montand.
