Following François ' premature death in 1978 , their career went on hiatus . In 1986 , they returned , now under the name of '' ' Cocktail ' '' , to take part in the selection for that year 's French Eurovision entry , which they duly won with the song " Européennes " ( " European Girls " ) . Having expanded their name to '' ' Cocktail Chic ' '' , they went forward to the 31st Eurovision Song Contest , held on 3 May in Bergen , Norway . Critics who had branded " Européennes " as musically dreary and lyrically feeble appeared to have their fears confirmed as the song ended the evening in a dismal 17th place of 20 entries , France 's worst result in 30 years of Eurovision to that date . Particularly galling to many in France was the fact that the other three French-language songs in that year 's contest ( from Belgium , Switzerland and Luxembourg ) , had finished the evening occupying the top three places . They largely vanished from sight again after their Eurovision appearance . Recent years have however seen a renewed interest in Les Fléchettes recordings in the retro French pop market , and they have reunited to give several interviews in which they discuss their career
