It was therefore Indira Ampiot, Miss Guadeloupe, who was elected Miss France 2023. The 18-year-old young woman won the title of beauty queen against Miss Nord-Pas-de-Calais, Agathe Cauet during a ceremony placed under the sign of cinema.

The young woman, aged 18, has just graduated with a bachelor’s degree with honors. In an interview with The Link Fwi, the new Miss France spoke about her career. “So, before my election, I was finishing my year of Terminale. I passed my Baccalaureate which I obtained with honors”, she had declared and added: “Subsequently, I applied to several schools communication and I was also accepted in a communication school in mainland France to specialize in visual and advertising communication in order to become Artistic Director”.

A young woman who is not there by chance despite her age. Indeed, his own mother was part of the world of Miss France and participated in the election in 1988. “The competition is something that has always attracted me since my mother participated in this election in 1998 where she was elected first runner-up to Miss Guadeloupe after being Miss Basse-Terre, so I grew up in this world,” she continued. “Indira has also obtained the majority of votes from viewers and jurors,” said Gala Cindy Fabre, Sylvie Tellier’s replacement. “She is a woman of 2023, determined, ‘warrior’, but with values ​​and an attachment to her family. And despite her youth, she is already showing exemplary maturity.” For Indira Ampiot, this “crown is a little revenge on life”.

This Monday November 21, 2022, the 30 candidates for the Miss France 2023 competition arrived in Guadeloupe for the preparation trip for the ceremony which will take place on Saturday December 17 at MACH 36 in Châteauroux. Exceptionally, Sylvier Tellier is also part of the trip to formalize the transfer of power between her and Cindy Fabre, and in the presence of the president of the company Miss France Alexia Laroche-Joubert. For a week, the contenders for the title of Miss France will notably visit Guadeloupe, participate in the traditional photo shoot in a swimsuit or even take the general knowledge test.

We finally know who will be the members of the jury for the election of Miss France 2023! While the 93rd Miss France election will be held in Châteauroux on December 17, the name of the president and the members of the jury have been revealed by TF1. This year, the famous comedian Francis Huster succeeds Jean-Pierre Pernaut, who died suddenly shortly after March 22, 2022, as president of the jury for the Miss France 2023 election. By his side to elect the new beauty queen of the French, we will find the judoka and Olympic champion Clarisse Agbegnenou, the singer Kendji Girac, the actress, singer and humorist Camille Lellouche, the actor and producer Dominique Besnehard, the Miss France 2013, Marine Lorphelin and finally the actor Arnaud Ducret. This year, the candidate “who will be designated Miss France 2023 will be submitted to the 50/50 votes of the jury and the viewers”, recall the organizers in their press release.

After a ceremony dedicated to the theme of musicals in 2021, the Miss France competition will have cinema as its theme this year. During the ceremony, the 30 candidates vying for the title will parade on nine different tables based on the greatest classics of cinema such as Harry Potter or Amélie Poulain. As a reminder, this year will also mark the last of Sylvie Tellier who announced her departure from the position of general manager of Miss France after 17 years of good and loyal service and who will leave her place to producer Alexia Laroche-Joubert.

While the Miss France 2023 election will take place on December 17 at MACH 36 in Châteauroux, the Miss France company has meanwhile experienced upheavals in its organization chart. Indeed, the company Miss France is now chaired by Alexia Laroche-Joubert. On September 1, 2022, Cindy Fabre, Miss France 2005, was appointed director of the national competition following the departure of Sylvie Tellier. While waiting for the next Miss France ceremony, here are the names of all the contenders for the succession of Diane Leyre as ambassador of French beauty.

Miss France 2023: photos of the official portraits of the 30 candidatesThe 30 regional candidates are in full preparation in Guadeloupe for the election of Miss France 2023. Before knowing who will succeed Diane Leyre, on December 17 in Châteauroux,…

After Miss Ile-de-France in 2022, we will know this Saturday, December 17 who will be the next Miss France 2023. But be aware that if certain regions such as Ile-de-France, Normandy or Alsace have seen the election of very many Miss France, others have never had this chance since the first edition of the Miss France ceremony organized in 1920.

Indeed, many territories have never had the privilege of seeing their Miss win the coveted crown every year. These are the regions:

Miss Provence, who very regularly arrives first runner-up in recent years, has also been waiting for 39 years for Provence to be crowned. (and Jean-Pierre Foucault too!). Corsica has only seen its Miss France elected once 100 years ago!

Conversely, since Miss Paris became Miss France in 1932, a total of 16 young women from Paris and Ile-de-France have been elected Miss France (13 Miss Paris and 3 Miss Île-de- France).

“We are not in a revolution but in an evolution”, wanted to reassure TV Magazine Alexia Laroche-Joubert. The one who was named president of the Miss France society in October 2021 returned to the changes she decided to make to the historic beauty contest. “The rule change is recent, it’s only the first year,” says the television producer. As a reminder, from now on, in order to be able to present themselves to Miss France, it is sufficient that the participants be over the age of 18, measure at least 1m70, and be female in the civil status. “The candidates who present themselves must not have made pornographic films or photographs or have made criminally reprehensible remarks”, she also announced in the columns of TV Magazine. The age limit of 24 has been lifted and mothers and married women can now compete as well. Tattoos are now also allowed. “It seems quite normal to me and very revealing of society because today many people have a tattoo, regardless of their age”.

“The biggest impact of the changes to the regulations was on age”, assures the president of the Miss France society, who is delighted “that they did not hesitate to register!”. “Our criteria have changed but not our values ​​which remain elegance, repartee, general knowledge, naturalness, photogenicity, charisma and finally empathy because Miss France goes out to meet people”, wanted to reassure Alexia Laroche-Joubert in the columns of TV Magazine when the next edition of the competition will be held on December 17 in Châteauroux.

At 24, Diane Leyre, Miss Ile-de-France 2021, was elected Miss France 2022 on December 11, 2021 at the Zénith de Caen after an evening dedicated to musicals. Elected Ile-de-France 2021 in Dammarys-lès-Lys (Seine-et-Marne), the real estate developer amazed the members of the jury and the viewers with her ease and her humor during her presentation speech. “I am a positive, spontaneous, smiling person. I am told nature-painting. I wanted to try a little humor this evening, but when I saw Ahmed Sylla and Inès Reg in the jury, I said to myself that it Maybe it wasn’t the time to try my joke,” she said on stage.

Diane Leyre, Miss Ile-de-France 2021, is elected Miss France 2022This Saturday, December 11, Diane Leyre, Miss Ile-de-France 2021, was elected Miss France 2022 at the Zénith de Caen. She succeeds Amandine Petit as national beauty queen.

The assassin pikes shot out. The handover between Alexia Laroche-Joubert and Sylvie Tellier which was done with loss and noise. Almost a month to the day before the election of Miss France 2023, the former and the new boss of Miss France publicly settled their accounts this Friday, December 18 during the press conference organized by the company Miss France in the company of thirty regional misses, two days before going to Guadeloupe for their training trip.

If Sylvie Tellier has long ensured that her departure from the post of general manager of Miss France, we can now doubt it. The two women did not fail to tear themselves apart throughout the event in front of the journalists. As reported by Le Parisien, the little murderous phrases were fired. “A miss belongs to no one”, notably sent Sylvie Tellier to Alexia Laroche-Joubert, in a humorous tone, who retorted: “You mean, Sylvie, that you are not mine?” . “Thank you Sylvie for taking me back, it’s too nice of you to correct me”, also added the new boss of Miss France to the former Miss France 1999.

Sylvie Tellier to Alexia Laroche-Joubert

The tense exchange reached its climax when Alexia Laroche-Joubert assured that “Sylvie was not working on the show”, specifying in front of the former director of the Miss France Society: “You did not produce the show “. A reflection that Sylvie Tellier did not support. “Me? I didn’t work on this show? I can’t let you say that. I worked on this show for 17 years!” Faced with the outburst of the former Miss, the producer let out one: “Excuse me if I offended you”. “Yes, you upset me. We must have consideration for what has been done for 17 years,” replied Sylvie Tellier, to conclude a press conference more tense than ever.

This Wednesday, December 14, Sylvie Tellier drove the point home by renewing in Le Parisien her disagreement with the new rules of the competition introduced by Alexia Laroche-Joubert. “I did not agree on the change of rules”, delivered frankly the ex-director general of the Miss France Society. The former Miss France has already revealed that she is opposed to the participation of mothers in the competition, the Miss France program being, according to her, incompatible with an empty family. She also confided that she was not consulted at all as to the choice of her successor, Cindy Fabre, Miss France 2004. “This choice is entirely that of Alexia Laroche-Joubert and I did not participate in it at all. Alexia knew her because she had produced the program of her election“, she specifies on a daily basis.

Despite an open conflict with Alexia Laroche-Joubert, Sylvie Tellier acknowledged that “she is a great television producer”. She also made a point of clarifying that they had personal similarities as women. “We have things in common: we are two women of character. I spent 17 years of my life working for Miss France, I spent a lot of weekends away from my family, I made a lot of sacrifices . And I’m glad it’s Alexia, with her expertise in big shows, who protects this program,” said Miss France 1999.

One of these women will succeed Amandine Petit. While the Miss France 2022 election will take place on December 11, 2021 at the Zénith de Caen, the regional selections ended at the end of October.

According to Franceinfo, the Northerner was in the top 5 of the various polls carried out by websites and magazines.

For the Purepeople site, the candidates who have the best chance of winning the election are those who represent the most successful regions.

Vaimalama Chaves, Miss Tahiti, elected Miss France 2019Vaimalama Chaves, Miss Tahiti, was elected Miss France 2019 this Saturday, December 15 in Lille. She succeeds Maëva Coucke as national beauty queen.

After the Second World War and following the death of Maurice de Waleffe in 1946, several more or less informal organizations tried to take over the Miss France contest. Several associations have thus emerged: in 1951, Jean Raibaut created the Charly’s Committee. Three years later, the Miss France Committee was created under the leadership of Guy Lévy and Louis de Fontenay, whose administrative secretary was none other than Geneviève Mulmann, better known as Geneviève de Fontenay today. In 1981, the one who married Louis de Fontenay became president of the Miss France Committee.

In 1985, Geneviève de Fontenay sued producer Michel Le Parmentier. The latter had registered the trademark ‘Miss France’ at the INPI (National Institute of Industrial Property) and then transferred it for use to the commercial company Stars Productions in 1984. Stars Productions also organized the Miss France 1985. The contest was broadcast live on TF1 and presented by Léon Zitrone. Geneviève de Fontenay wins her case and has Michel Le Parmentier’s trademark registration annulled. Justice considers that the title of Miss France being the object principal of the Miss France Committee Association (a non-profit association governed by the law of 1901) this cannot be misused for the benefit of a natural person and even less of a commercial company.

In 1986, Geneviève de Fontenay decided to register the “Miss France” brand with the INPI and created the Miss France Society. His son, Xavier, becomes the general secretary. Other organizations, in particular the committee created by Jean-Louis Giordano, disputes the trademark registration of the lady in the hat as well as the legitimacy of the Miss France Society to organize the beauty contest.

In 1995, justice declared that the committee of Geneviève de Fontenay as “having no legal existence”, reports Le Parisien in an article published on May 27, 2000. This judgment is moreover confirmed by the Court of Cassation. Despite the legal imbroglio around the brand “Miss France”, the competition organized since 1987 by Geneviève de Fontenay is the only one recognized in the eyes of the general French public.

In 2002, Geneviève de Fontenay sold the Miss France Society and the brand to Endemol. She would have received the tidy sum of 10 million euros thanks to this sale. If Geneviève de Fontenay is no longer the owner of the Miss France Society, she nevertheless remains the president until 2010.

In March 2010, Geneviève de Fontenay decided to leave the Miss France society. According to information from L’Express, the lady in the hat gave Endemol a letter of separation, dated February 13, 2010. She explains that the Kelly Bochencko affair shows “the limits of what is unbearable”. As a reminder, Kelly Bochencko was stripped of her title of Miss Paris 2009 following the publication of her nude photos in the magazine Entrevue. Here is an excerpt from the letter written by Geneviève de Fontenay:

Before the Kelly Bochencko affair, Geneviève de Fontenay had already seen red when Entrevue magazine revealed several suggestive photos of Valérie Bègue a few days after being elected Miss France 2008. However, Geneviève de Fontenay believes that Endemol had broken the contract which bound them and decides to attack the production company against the prud’hommes. She announces in the process that she is launching her own beauty contest entitled “Miss National”, despite the non-competition clause.

In 2011, Miss Nationale was renamed Miss Prestige Nationale because another competition already held this mark. With this name or another, it nevertheless remains subject to the court decision which prevents it from making an election concurrent with that of Endemol. However, she finds a solution by withdrawing from the organization of the competition so that it can take place in December 2011. It will be necessary to wait until November 2013 for an agreement to be reached between Geneviève de Fontenay and Endemol. The Miss Prestige National competition now takes place in January so that there is no confusion with that of Miss France. After the departure of Geneviève de Fontenay from the presidency of the Miss France society in 2010, it is Sylvie Tellier, ex-Miss France and general manager within the organization since 2007, who chaperones the Misses across France and the world.

Many controversies have punctuated the Miss France contest. Among the most striking: the suggestive photos of Valérie Bègue published in the magazine Entrevue a few days after being elected Miss France 2008 and the nude photos of Kelly Bochenko, Miss Paris 2009, also published in Entrevue. We invite you to read our article on the various Miss France scandals below:

The little scandals of Miss Valérie Bègue, Laury Thilleman… They all have one thing in common: in addition to having been elected Miss, they found themselves at the heart of a scandal. Discover the cases that scratched these beauty queens!

The Miss France 2019 contest was marked by an incident during the ceremony. Carla Bonesso, Miss Aquitaine 2018, and Manon Jean-Mistral, Miss Corsica 2018, were filmed topless in the dressing rooms without their knowledge. If the Miss France Committee has apologized, the young women have decided to file a complaint against the production company EndemolShine and TF1 for “infringement of their image rights, their intimacy and their private life”. At present, the procedure is still ongoing.

This year, two controversies are added to the list. The first, during the election of Miss Auvergne 2019, Amandine Billoux, one of the contenders, believes that she was rejected from the competition because of her forms. More details in the dedicated article below:

Miss France 2020: a candidate who failed because of her forms? Failed for its curves? This is what one of the candidates who participated in the Miss Auvergne 2019 competition thinks. A decision that she still does not understand. The young woman testifies to her…

The second controversy concerns the traditional outfit of Miss Lorraine 2019. The designer Marion Lambert had imagined the regional miss parading in a Poilus uniform. This choice quickly created an uproar. “For us, it’s carnival clothing, it’s an insult, a scandal towards the world of fighters”, declared Colonel Jean-Charles Barrois, president of the Moselle combatants’ union at the microphone of France Bleu. . “I don’t want the name Miss France to be associated with something that has caused so much distress, so many deaths, terrible things. We can’t afford it for a beauty pageant,” Geneviève said. Fontenay with France Bleu Lorraine. Following the controversy, Sylvie Tellier announces in Le Républicain Lorrain that the traditional outfit of Miss Lorraine 2019 will be replaced.

“We are not in a revolution but in an evolution”, wanted to reassure TV Magazine Alexia Laroche-Joubert. The one who was named president of the Miss France society in October 2021 returned to the changes she decided to make to the historic beauty contest. “The rule change is recent, it’s only the first year,” says the television producer. As a reminder, from now on, in order to be able to present themselves to Miss France, it is sufficient that the participants be over the age of 18, measure at least 1m70, and be female in the civil status. “The candidates who present themselves must not have made pornographic films or photographs or have made criminally reprehensible remarks”, she also announced in the columns of TV Magazine. The age limit of 24 has been lifted and mothers and married women can now compete as well. Tattoos are now also allowed. “It seems quite normal to me and very revealing of society because today many people have a tattoo, regardless of their age”.

“The biggest impact of the changes to the regulations was on age”, assures the president of the Miss France society, who is delighted “that they did not hesitate to register!”. “Our criteria have changed but not our values ​​which remain elegance, repartee, general knowledge, naturalness, photogenicity, charisma and finally empathy because Miss France goes out to meet people”, wanted to reassure Alexia Laroche-Joubert in the columns of TV Magazine when the next edition of the competition will be held on December 17 in Châteauroux.
