Un Grand Amour (English translation: "A Great Love") was the Luxembourgish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1958, performed in French by Solange Berry.
The song is in the chanson style, and features Berry singing about the unexpectedness of a "great love". As the song ends, however, she sings about the ending of such a love, but sings that it is not a bad thing if it is replaced by friendship.
The song was performed fourth on the night (following France's André Claveau with Dors, Mon Amour and preceding Sweden's Alice Babs with Lilla Stjärna). At the close of voting, it had received 1 point, placing 9th (equal last) in a field of 10.
Luxembourg did not enter the 1959 Contest, but returned the following year. Thus, the song was succeeded as Luxembourgish representative at the 1960 Contest by Camillo Felgen with So Laang We's Du Do Bast.
