She is best known for presenting the Eurovision Song Contest in Luxembourg in 1966, which she presented entirely in French with the exception of the voting procedure. Shen is best remembered for accidentally greeting the United Kingdom during the voting procedure with "Good night, London", before correcting herself to "Good evening, London", to which the British spokesperson, Michael Aspel, replied "Good morning, Luxembourg".

She also co-hosted two editions of the short-lived Grand Prix RTL International in 1970 and 1971.
