Excitement Builds for Miss France 2025
The anticipation is palpable as the 30 candidates for the Miss France 2025 title prepare to showcase their talents to the nation. Despite the nerves that may accompany such a significant event, these remarkable young women are dedicated to delivering an unforgettable performance this Saturday, December 14, at the Arena Futuroscope in Poitiers, Vienne. This year’s contestants bring a refreshing diversity, each with a unique story enriched by amusing anecdotes that have piqued our interest.
A New Era of Miss France Contestants
The recent changes in the competition’s age limit have introduced an exciting dynamic among the participants. This year, a remarkable one-third of the candidates, eleven in total, are 25 years old or older, with the standout being Angélique Angarni-Filopon, Miss Martinique. At 34, she brings previous beauty pageant experience to the table, having been the first runner-up in her home region back in 2011. Miss Bourgogne also shares a deep connection to the pageant world.
Clara Diry, representing Bourgogne, benefits from the wisdom of her older sister Sophie, who was a third runner-up in the Miss France 2020 competition. Clara fondly recalls her sister’s advice, particularly about wearing socks during rehearsals to make navigating in heels more manageable. Sophie has expressed immense pride in her sister’s journey through a heartfelt video shared online.
Diverse Backgrounds and Inspiring Stories
The candidates come from various walks of life, showcasing their unique professions and personal experiences. Miss Auvergne, Romane Agostinho, revealed her heroic moment when she saved her little brother from a threatening wave. Beyond her pageantry aspirations, she works as an animal osteopath, focusing on treating motor and behavioral issues in pets. Other candidates, like Stella Vangioni, an actress featured in the popular series “Un si grand soleil,” and Marine Futol, who dreams of becoming a customs officer, add to the rich tapestry of this year’s promotion.
Additionally, Manon Le Maou, a gendarme from Doubs, shares her motivation for entering the competition, stemming from a serious car accident she experienced while on duty. Mégane Bertaud, Miss Provence, has her own touching love story, having met her partner at a friend’s funeral seven years ago; they have been inseparable ever since.
On a lighter note, many of the contestants are multilingual, showcasing their diverse backgrounds. Laura Marque, Miss Aquitaine, spent five years in Portugal for her studies, while Sasha Bique, Miss Saint-Martin Saint-Barthélémy, communicates exclusively in English with her Dutch mother. Zaya Toumbou, Miss Mayotte, studied Korean at university, and Isabella Hebert, Miss Alsace, is fluent in both French and Spanish, thanks to her Colombian heritage.
As the Miss France 2025 competition approaches, the spotlight is on these extraordinary women who are ready to inspire and entertain.
