Frédérique Hoschedé, better known by the stage name Dorothée, is a French singer and television presenter. She was a continuity announcer on French public broadcaster Antenne 2 from 1977 to 1983, but she is best known for having presented children's television shows like Les mercredis de la jeunesse, Dorothée et ses amis, Récré A2, and especially Club Dorothée, which totalled up to about thirty hours of broadcast per week and popularized Japanese animation in France.
Dorothée is a singer with a large discography, singing pop music for children, and she has recorded well-known French traditional nursery rhymes in a record collection called Le jardin des chansons. Several of her songs were used for the openings of animated series featured in Club Dorothée. One of her trademarks is that each of her albums, from Hou! la menteuse in 1982 to Dorothée 2010, featured a song with the word "valise" in its title, with a similar melody but a different arrangement and partially updated lyrics, totalling sixteen "valise" songs.
