Michèle Arnaud (born Micheline Caré on March 18, 1919 in Toulon, died on March 30, 1998 in Maisons-Laffitte in the département of Yvelines), was a French singer, producer, and director. She was entombed on September 18, 1998 in 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.
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. On July 11, 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.
