Cindy Fabre Steps Down as Director of Miss France: What’s Next for the Iconic Beauty Pageant?
The world of Miss France is undergoing a significant change as Cindy Fabre, the Guadeloupean former Miss France 2005, has officially left her role as director of the prestigious beauty pageant. According to a press release from the Miss France Society,Fabre’s departure was a mutual decision,marking the end of her tenure that began in August 2022.
Frédéric Gilbert, president of the Miss France Company, expressed his gratitude to Fabre, stating that she had “made it possible to ensure continuity and preserve the values of the Miss France competition.” In her own statement, Fabre thanked “all the teams of the Miss France company, the delegates and partners with whom she worked, and also the Misses whom she had the honor of accompanying.”
Contrary to speculation, Fabre’s exit was not a dismissal.As reported by BFMTV.com, it was simply a case of a “contract that is not renewed.” Fabre, who took over the role following Sylvie Tellier, was not an employee of the Miss France Company but rather a “provider” as project manager and partner of EMA Events, a Dijon-based agency specializing in events.
Unlike her predecessor, Fabre’s involvement was less hands-on. According to Miss France’s communications, she “accompanied miss france depending on her availability,” a stark contrast to Tellier’s highly visible presence.
For now,Fabre’s position remains vacant. Frédéric Gilbert has emphasized the need to “know where we are going” before deciding whether to appoint a new director. The organization is reportedly considering a more collegial approach to supporting candidates, potentially shifting away from a single director model.
This leadership change comes amid a period of transition for Miss France. Gilbert himself succeeded alexia Laroche-Joubert as president of the Miss France Society in November 2023, following her brief tenure.
