Bien Plus Fort (English translation: "Much Stronger") was the Monegasque entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1966, performed in French by Téréza.
The song is in the chanson style, popular in the early years of the Contest. Téréza tells her lover that "your love for me" and "my love for you" are variously "stronger than the wind", "bigger than the earth" and various other superlatives, as well as asking him to take her away from where she is currently.
The song was performed thirteenth on the night (following Switzerland's Madeleine Pascal with Ne Vois-Tu Pas? and preceding Italy's Domenico Modugno with Dio, come ti amo). At the close of voting, it had received the dreaded nul points, placing 17th (equal last) in a field of 18.
A Croatian version of the song was also recorded, as Téréza herself was in fact from that part of what was then Yugoslavia. She would also go on to represent her homeland at the 1972 Contest.
The song was succeeded as Monegasque representative at the 1967 Contest by Minouche Barelli with Boum-Badaboum.
