Miss Provence


Miss Provence is a French beauty pageant which selects a representative for the Miss France national competition from the departments of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Bouches-du-Rhône, Hautes-Alpes, Vaucluse, and portions of Var in the region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. The other regional pageant within PACA is Miss Côte d'Azur, which selects a representative from the department of Alpes-Maritimes and the remaining portions of Var. The first Miss Provence was crowned in 1986, although women from the region have competed at Miss France with other titles since 1976.
There is currently no Miss Provence titleholder, following the dethronement of Miss Provence 2025, Julie Zitouni, due to the emergence of a leaked video disparaging other contestants for Miss France 2026. One woman from Provence has been crowned Miss France:
