Downtime, she does not know. It’s necessary that it moves. All the time. And quick. A project ends, another had already started. Flavy Barla is bubbling. Activities, she never has enough. And it is precisely to embark on a new adventure that this Niçoise of only 19 years old, former student in sport-studies, in figure skating in particular, keen on science, plunged into the Miss France adventure.
Hardworking, go-getter, jack of all trades, Miss Côte d’Azur 2022 is seeking the crown in parallel with her medical studies and her dance lessons, her “other passion”, her “second home”. “Me, I really walk like that. The more I do, the happier I am. In fact, I’m never satisfied with learning, knowing things and meeting people,” she confided to 20 minutes.

I will do whatever it takes, I will enjoy every moment, never forgetting that my goal in life is above all to be a doctor. »
In the footsteps of Marine Lhorphelin
Her journey could resemble that of Marine Lhorphelin, Miss France 2013 and who herself took the Hippocratic oath. La Bourgignonne, first runner-up to Miss World that year, will also be part of the jury for this election.
A sign ? “It’s crazy, because she has always inspired me enormously, assures Flavy Barla. I find everything she does extremely respectable. She uses her social networks to convey health prevention messages. And that’s what I will do too. »
