A Candid Conversation with Miss France 2025
Just three days post-crowning, the 34-year-old flight attendant graced the TF1 offices for a heartfelt and humorous exchange. Sporting her stylish sneakers and high heels, she delighted the room by showcasing her impressive impersonations of Elie Semoun and Franck Dubosc, although she cheekily decided to keep this talent under wraps for now. With warmth and generosity, she checked in on the nervous interns before diving into the interview. It seems the charming Martiniquaise has plenty more surprises up her sleeve for the upcoming year.
From Cloud Nine to Realization
When asked about her feelings just days after winning, Angélique beamed, “I am still on cloud nine. It’s incredible!” Embracing the metaphor, she elaborated on her philosophy: “It’s never too late,” she stated, asserting that “the sky is the limit” resonates even more with her journey. With a smile, she recalled how her colleagues often say that above the clouds, the sun always shines. It’s a testament to her optimistic outlook on life.
Reflecting on her earlier attempts at the Miss Martinique pageant in 2011, Angélique expressed pride in her journey, stating, “She would be very, very proud. Inside, she is dancing the lambada.” She shared her secret to staying calm under pressure, revealing, “I felt no stress” during the election. Her trick? Visualizing everyday scenarios, such as cooking, to ease her nerves.
The transformation she underwent during the pandemic led her to embrace life in Martinique fully. “I will never forget July 10, 2022,” she said, recalling the day she decided to settle on the island permanently. The warmth and vibrancy of her surroundings have played a significant role in her newfound sense of self.
During her time on the 1 PM set, Angélique couldn’t help but show her emotional side, expressing gratitude for her journey and the support of her family, including her sister and six adorable nieces and nephews. Her commitment extends beyond her title; she’s passionate about empowering women, particularly those battling breast cancer, through confidence-building initiatives.
As she gears up for her return to Martinique, just in time for Carnival, Angélique anticipates a vibrant homecoming filled with music, dance, and celebration. “I am convinced that Martinique will give a worthy welcome,” she remarked, her excitement palpable.
