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 (PACA).

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.

One woman from Provence has been crowned Miss France: From 1976 until 1978, Marseille, the largest city in Provence, crowned its own representative as Miss Marseille.

In 1990 and 1991, the department of Bouches-du-Rhône crowned its own representative as Miss Côte Bleue, although the department was reabsorbed into Miss Provence in 1992.

In 1986, the department of Vaucluse crowned its own representative as Miss Comtat Venaissin, although the department was absorbed into Miss Provence the following year.
