The news comes as a surprise to many, as Miss France 2022 winner, Diane Leyre, was who everyone expected to be France's representative at Miss Universe. In a statement, Diane said: "Unfortunately, I will not be able to participate in the Miss Universe competition due to the fact I have only a few weeks time for preparation after I crown the new Miss France, next December. I do not like to do things halfway when it comes to representing France internationally and my first runner-up, Floriane Bascou, was the obvious choice for this great adventure. I am sure that she will shine and I will support her as all French people will during her journey".
“For several years our national representatives have succeeded in demonstrating that France is one of the countries who always places high in international competitions. We are delighted with the participation of Floriane Bascou who will represent France in the Miss Universe competition next January as well as Clémence Botino in the Miss World competition. They will perfectly embody the values of the Miss France internationally. We wish them to fully experience these adventures and we will support them throughout their journey.", said Cindy Fabre, the new national director of Miss France.
