Miss France 2022, the general culture test: here is the questionnaire!

Miss France, it’s not just a physical! As every year, the 29 regional Misses lend themselves to the game of general knowledge questionnaire. Our beauty queens answered 40 questions from Reunion Island, where they make their traditional preparatory trip. “Welcome ladies. This test is not intended to penalize you but to highlight the three best among your promotion. Each plays with its weapons and advantages. Arriving first can be an asset but, on the other hand, that does not mean that you will be elected Miss France. There are 40 questions and no trap with only one correct answer each time. It’s a MCQ so don’t hesitate to try your luck. You have 40 minutes“, launches Sylvie Tellier, general manager of the company Miss France, to the contenders for the title of Miss France 2022.
