follow the election, an AI designates Miss Côte d’Azur as the favorite

Miss France 2024 should be Karla Bchir, Miss Côte d’Azur. At least that’s what the consultancy firm Avisia which is based on artificial intelligence and the exploitation of data to provide its results.

Last year, the cabinet was already right when it saw Miss Guaderloupe, Indira Ampiot, win the tiara. Just like the year before, by designating Floriane Bascou, Miss Martinique.

The first scene features the misses to tunes from the 1980s, from Cindy Lauper to George Michael, including Lio and Eurythmics.

Surrounded by Cindy Fabre, director of the Miss France committee, and Sylvie Tellier, president of the jury this year, Jean-Pierre Foucault introduced the jury and opened the festivities… in his pajamas.

A reference to the recurring rumors which evoke the possible replacement of the emblematic host of Miss France, a competition which he has presented since 1995!

It is now the turn of the misses to present themselves to the public, through portraits filmed in their region.

The Miss France committee preselects the 15 miss finalists according to different criteria, including the result of the general knowledge quiz. Then it’s up to the jury and the public to decide between them and elect 5 finalists and finally the winner.

You can retry the general knowledge quiz here.

After the cinema last year, the theme chosen this year is “the Miss music box”. The candidates will evoke through different paintings the 1980s of Cindy Lauper, Lio or Eurythmics. They will pay tribute to Tina Turner, who died last May.

A Miss France evening would not be quite the same without Jean-Pierre Foucault. This year again, the 76-year-old host dons the tuxedo to present the evening. This is the 29th consecutive time that the host has piloted the Miss France evening.

In addition to the satisfaction of being the “most beautiful woman in France”, Miss France 2024 will leave with a one-year contract with the company Miss France, of which she will be an employee. She will also be entitled to a company apartment in Paris, and multiple gifts, including a car, a computer, outfits, jewelry, shoes…

Here is what Miss France wins.

Thirty candidates will compete this evening. Perched on stiletto heels, in swimsuits or evening dresses, they will parade on the stage of the Zénith de Dijon.

Among these 30 regional misses, some are already favorites, Miss Côte d’Azur, Karla Bchir, Miss Alsace, Adeline Vetter, and Miss Ile-de-France, Elena Faliez.

There will be emotion during the tribute to Geneviève de Fontenay, the incarnation of the Miss France competition for nearly 30 years.

The “lady in the hat” died on August 1 at the age of 90.

This tribute, after the announcement of the 15 semi-finalists, will take the form of a tape recorder of some declarations from Geneviève de Fontenay. Frédéric Gilbert, producer of the show, spoke in Télé-Loisir of a “moment full of emotion”. “I know that it is eagerly awaited, that missteps can quickly happen.” “I showed the subject to two or three misses who started crying straight away,” he also explained.

Forty former Miss France will parade during this tribute, including Nathalie Marquay-Pernaut, Elodie Gossuin, Maëva Coucke, Clémence Botino and Amandine Petit.

After leaving the Miss France competition, which she oversaw for 17 years, with losses and repercussions, Sylvie Tellier returns this year as president of the jury.
