The Miss France 2025 elections are fast approaching in December 2024. The date has been set and the 30 candidates have already been examined from every angle…
The great French beauty show is preparing to once again conquer an emblematic place. The Miss France 2025 election will take place in mid-December 2024, in the Futuroscope park, located near Poitiers, in Vienne. The proclamation was made by the Miss France committee in mid-September.
From the portraits of the 30 candidates at the prestigious evening on TF1, through the candidates’ preparation trip to the Ivory Coast, the photographic sessions, the joys and defeats of the misses and the Organizing Committee, follow with us all the news of this Miss Competition of France until the final coronation.
The Miss France 2025 election date was revealed by the Miss France Society at the beginning of the school year. The date is set for Saturday 14 December 2024. A date that does not change the habits of the competition, which for decades has elected its representative for a year in mid-December of the previous year.
The regional elections of the Misses who will compete in the election of Miss France 2025 ended in autumn. This year there are 30 contenders for the crown on the starting line. Instead of accumulating the classic and tacky portraits, we preferred to scroll through the Instas of each of the contenders. Here’s what we can say about the candidates.
We don’t know if everyone was really cozy with the exercise, but the thirty candidates, like every year, posed in swimsuits, in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, during the preparation trip for the 2024 competition. Watch the images before the big competition.
Were will the Miss France competition take place in 2024?
The Miss France 2025 election will take place inside the Arena du Futuroscope,a recent installation,inaugurated in 2022,with a capacity of approximately 6,000 seats. The choice of the amusement park is not trivial, Miss France wants to be stronger than a simple television event. Its organizers boast a live show that embodies the beauty of the country, its regions and their cultural heritage. All accompanied every year by a demand for modernity that increasingly puts pressure on the competition.
But the renewal is, from this point of view, limited. The choice of Futuroscope to host the Miss France 2025 elections is not the first time. This is even the third time that the Vienne amusement park has been chosen as the setting for the prestigious competition. Futuroscope had previously hosted elections in 1997, when Patricia Spehar was crowned, then in 2006, when Rachel Legrain-Trapani won the title.
Frédéric Gilbert, president of the Miss France association and creator of the elections, said he was enthusiastic about this choice: “It’s a great story with Futuroscope that continues after the 1997 and 2006 elections.” He also underlined the charm of the Futuroscope Arena, “a new hall, inaugurated two years ago”, which will bring a touch of novelty to the event. The park, known for its innovative attractions and cutting-edge shows, could also give a futuristic touch to the ceremony, with unique setups.
Eve Gilles won the crown of Miss France 2024 on Saturday, December 16, 2023. The young 20-year-old represented Nord-Pas-de-Calais at the beauty pageant. enrolled in the second year of a degree in mathematics and computer science applied to the human and social sciences, her professional plans were put aside during the year of her reign. He wants to become a statistic one day.
