Overview
- Miss France president Frédéric Gilbert said Angélique Angarni-Filopon told organizers in February she wanted to return her crown because the harassment was too hard to bear.
- Camille Cerf was named the first official mentor to guide the 2026 winner throughout her year and will also serve on a newly mixed-gender jury.
- Producers confirmed format updates for the December show, including a Top 12 instead of a Top 15 and a tableau featuring the Garde républicaine under the theme “Le voyage des Miss.”
- The 2026 final is set for December 6 at the Zénith d’Amiens, broadcast live on TF1 and TF1+, after candidates were presented at TF1 headquarters.
- Organizers said Angarni-Filopon, 34, will accompany candidates on the preparatory trip to Martinique; Le Parisien reported she filed a police note for death threats and largely stepped back from mainstream media.
