The Minister of Tourism and Leisure, Siandou Fofana, announced that an agreement has been reached with the Miss France organization for a mission of immersion and preparation for 30 contestants of the 2025 beauty pageant in Abidjan.
"This is the very first time in the history of the competition that a Miss France trip will take place in Africa," said Minister Siandou Fofana.
The contestants are expected to arrive on November 17, 2024. They will take part in a program that highlights Ivorian culture and natural landscapes along the Atlantic coast.
They will also have the opportunity to explore the art of travel by taking the time to fully immerse themselves in the country’s rich cultural and historical heritage while savoring local dishes and enjoying the hospitality of the Ivorian people.
"It is an honor for Ivory Coast to host the 30 Miss France 2025 contestants. Our country, with its stunning landscapes, vibrant culture, and diversity, is the perfect destination for an immersion into the heart of African authenticity," stated the Minister of Tourism.
The final of the 95th edition of Miss France will be held on December 14, 2024, at the Arena of Futuroscope, in the Vienne department.
