The time is approaching for the 30 candidates for the title of Miss France 2026. Is a favorite already standing out in the competition? We asked the AI…
See you on December 6, live on TF1, for the big Miss France 2026 evening hosted by Jean-Pierre Foucault from the Zénith d’Amiens. The 30 regional candidates, returning to mainland France after a preparatory trip organized in Martinique, all dream of succeeding the current title holder, Angélique Angarni-Filopon. Who is the favorite at the moment?
Artificial Intelligence gives its prediction on the winner of Miss France 2026
We asked Gemini, Google’s AI, to give us its prediction on which regional miss is most likely to win the crown in December. To answer this question, she took into account several criteria such as the number of subscribers on social networks, the number of press articles published, the history of victories by region or even the results of the general knowledge test…
So, according to Artificial Intelligence, the potential winner of Miss France 2026 would be… Miss Provence aka Julie Zitouni! At 26, the candidate from Marseille already has nearly 11,000 followers on Instagram and, as Gemini aptly notes, “Provence is a region that has almost systematically ranked in the Top 5 for several years. The jury and the public are used to seeing her among the finalists.“
However, to the great drama of Jean-Pierre Foucault who made the victory of a Miss Provence the sine qua non condition for her departure from the entertainment of the Miss France evening, the last Miss Provence who won the sash already goes back to Sylvie Paréra elected Miss France 1978. Will this year mark the end of the curse?
The candidate is in any case on cloud nine since her week spent with her comrades in Martinique. “I still can’t get over it. It was simply incredible: crazy energy, moments of immense richness, and the people of Martinique… you won my heart forever!“, she proclaimed on her Instagram account.
Which candidate is the editor’s favorite?
At Women’s Journalwe also have our favorite! After a vote, the one who wins the votes is… Miss Tahiti aka Hinaupoko Devèze. Will she win the election? Answer on December 6, 2026, at the Zénith d’Amiens, for the grand final of the beauty contest. Like every year, TF1 should attract a stratospheric audience with this event adored by the French.
Last year, the Miss France 2026 election was followed by 7.6 million viewers with a peak of 8.4 million viewers live on TF1 and a historic record of 65% audience share. Outdated and obsolete the competition? The general public obviously does not have the same opinion.
