Every year, he stresses out the contenders for the crown. The traditional general knowledge test of the Miss France competition took place this Thursday, November 21 in Abidjan (Ivory Coast), where the 30 competitors are currently on a preparation trip for a week.
The test started at 9 p.m. (Paris time), one hour late than the program initially announced. Once on the floor, the candidates had one hour to complete the questionnaire. Depending on the questions, the young women sometimes only had 30 seconds to answer. All themes were represented: politics, economics, culture… This evaluation also verifies the logic of the Misses, by proposing questions directly from IQ tests. So, are you stronger than the candidates?
Like last year, under the leadership of Cindy Fabre, Miss France 2005 and director of the competition, the beauty queens also had to face a dictation marked on 6 points which referred to the Ivory Coast and Abidjan .
And it should not be taken lightly: the result of the 30 regional participants counts towards their final score to qualify among the 15 best. It is even often scrutinized by the jury, who also evaluate their attitude throughout the week, as well as their motivation and eloquence.
Last year, it was Adeline Vetter, Miss Alsace, who obtained the best score in the general knowledge test with a total of 42.5 out of 60. However, she did not qualify in the top 15, despite its excellent rating.
The election of Miss France 2025 will take place on December 14 at Futuroscope in Poitiers (Vienna) to consecrate the successor of Ève Gilles. Young women will have to truly dance for the first time since the theme of this 95th edition is “The Grand Ball of Misses”.
