“The feeling of not being part of the Miss France family”: Élodie Gossuin looks back on the arrival of Sylvie Tellier at the head of the organization. In 2010 Geneviève de Fontenay left the organization to create a new beauty contest.

“I think it was very complex for Sylvie, between her position and that of Geneviéve. For me, it was just seen from the outside [...] I didn't want it to be out of opportunism so I never worked in the company," she says.
