The chosen song, "Va dire à l'amour" ("Go Tell Love"), a gentle strings-driven ballad, ended in ninth place of the 18 entries.[1][2] She would later take part in the 1965 La Rose d'Or festival in Antibes, and released in total seven EPs.

Noël retired from showbusiness in 1967 and spent the rest of her life in anonymity. She died of a cerebral hemorrhage, aged 54, in Cavaillon, Vaucluse, on 30 April 2000.
