Ring Parade was shown every Sunday evening at 19.30 during the 1970s hosted by Guy Lux.  The name of the show changed with the years (French Cancan, Domino, Ring Parade/Système 2, Top Club, Cadence 3). The show was a competition featuring approximately six songs/artists. This was followed by the news between 20.00 and 20.30 followed by Système 2. Système 2 was a 70-80 minute show with several artists. During the show, viewers got the results of the Ring Parade competition.  ABBA appeared in Ring Parade or in Système 2 but it seems that Ring Parade was, sometimes, listed as Système 2 by the French TV archives (INA) in the 70s.

ABBA performed I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do to playback on this show hosted by Guy Lux and Sophie Darel.  Agnetha and Frid wore the long cat dresses.

ABBA on TV was the first to share these images with the world since their original broadcast thanks to a very generous and helpful Hungarian ABBA fan.  Extra pictures at the end indicate that ABBA were present throughout the whole programme when all the stars waved to the audience.
