Overview
- The live broadcast begins on TF1 at 21:10 from the Zénith d'Amiens, hosted by Jean-Pierre Foucault under the theme “Le Voyage des Miss.”
- Thirty candidates aged 18 to 30 will compete, with the top 12 expected around 23:00, the top 5 near midnight, and the winner around 00:30–00:35.
- Reduced to 12 this year, the semi-finalists were preselected by professionals, with final rankings decided 50/50 by viewers and a celebrity jury chaired by Michèle Bernier; the public breaks ties.
- Presentation updates emphasize elegance and assurance over dated phrasing, the Garde républicaine joins the regional tableau, and Mauboussin’s pastel “Couronne de France, célébrer l’espoir” awaits the winner.
- Anti-harassment steps include strengthened communications and added security during appearances, and for the first time the reigning Miss will be mentored by former winner Camille Cerf.
