Paule Desjardins (29 April 1929 — 31 December 2007), also known as Paule Canat, was a French singer and fashion designer. She represented France in the Eurovision Song Contest 1957 with the song "La Belle amour" which finished second with 17 points.[1]

In the early 1960s, she ended her musical career to marry the French industrialist Charles Canat. She started a new career as a lingerie designer in Millau.[2] From 1960 to 1992, Paule was responsible for the creation of collections, developing new clothing lines that played an important role in the development of the company.[3]

Paule and Charles had a son, Joël. He ran his father’s company from 1991-1996, before selling it to Saaly Holding.[3] Charles died on 1 December 2007, at the age of 86.[4] Paule passed away exactly 30 days after his death.[5]
