The new director of the Miss France contest stood out from the work done for several years by Sylvie Tellier by proposing new themes and exercises. As during Miss France 2020, open answers were preferred to the MCQ format to accentuate the difficulty. In addition to the themes of current affairs, the French language, art and literature, history and geography, mathematics and logic, and foreign languages, questions relating to nature and ecology as well as the Highway Code have been added.

Dictation, a great novelty of the general knowledge test of Miss France
The biggest innovation of this general knowledge test is the introduction of a short dictation of 550 characters. "I told myself that this was part of the values of our heritage," Cindy Fabre explained to our colleagues at Télé-Loisirs. In the age of social media, dictation aids and voice notes, I thought it was a shame that we lost the practice of words and letters. »
The dictation in question is entitled The Queen of Words: "In the heart of the canopy, the starry destiny of incomparable women is played out, but united
by the unbreakable bond of sisterhood. On the Guyanese trails, between a change of scenery and exploration, will be on the agenda, far from outdated stereotypes, rules of propriety, wise advice, and these few linguistic delights; Browsing in a tapouille or enjoying a blaff will no longer hold any secrets for our calligraphers. When physical splendor is combined with merit, with strength and determination, it is the whole nation that waits impatiently to see at last the one which, crowned with success, has attained personal fulfillment."
