Summary :

It is the great absence announced this Saturday, December 19 in prime time.

Geneviève de Fontenay declined the invitation of TF 1 to the 100 years of Miss France.

This televisual high mass has not been to her liking since she slammed the door of the competition in 2011, furious at the production company Endemol which owns it.

A decade later, the former president of the committee has not lost all her resentment, nor her outspokenness.

This modest 88-year-old retiree prefers to remember the half-century she spent traveling the regions, to make Miss France the biggest beauty contest in the country.

Yves Jaeglé, deputy head of the Culture-Media department of the Parisian, has known Geneviève de Fontenay for 15 years.

He tells us about his last interview with her, at the end of November, in Code Source.
