Micheline Beaurain was elected Miss France even before the ceremony was broadcast on television. Now aged 75, she spends happy days close to her family. Without ever denying his great years! But what becomes of her?
It was in 1969 in Mulhouse that Micheline Beaurain’s destiny changed radically. Crowned Miss France 1970 when she was only 20 years old, and the ceremony was not broadcast on the small French screens, she then followed in the footsteps of a certain Geneviève de Fontenay.
Micheline Beaurain, Miss France 1970, “extremely active” : his future plans
Now aged 75, Micheline Beaurain, who has since become Micheline Blanchet, lives on the Côte d’Azur, in Cannes more precisely, where she moved at a very young age with her husband who worked in the restaurant business. “We worked together and then I became a mother”she informed our colleagues at Parisian last year.
Still very active, the retiree would like to return to service: “There is something I would like today, but I don’t know how to go about it… I would like to advertise as a senior. I am very extremely active and I would like to stay that way as long as possible”.
Mother of three children, and grandmother on five occasions, the septuagenarian seen in December 2024 on the Futuroscope stage during the Miss France 2025 election even passed the torch to one of her granddaughters. “I transmitted the virus to her. She is splendid. Everyone spotted her. But she had other constraints. Maybe next year”she explained.
Micheline Beaurain remembers her year as Miss: “I’ve done lots of magazine covers.”
Micheline Beaurain seems to have only good memories of her year of reign. “Oh dear, I regretted not being bigger! As the election took place in Mulhouse, I had great wines from the region, cases of Tokay, Sylvaner, Gewurtztraminer”she remembered, always in the columns of Parisian. And she added: “I did lots of magazine covers, and I appeared a lot on Maritie and Gilbert Carpentier’s variety shows. Michel Sardou sang Le France in front of me”.
Close to Geneviève de Fontenay, she visibly shared great moments with the lady in the hat: “There were always five of us in the DS, with three Misses behind. It was always Geneviève who drove! Louis Poirot (Geneviève de Fontenay’s companion, editor’s note) put the blue-white-red flag on the door, like a minister. He had a lot of humor and presented the shows”.
