She is the first deaf or hard of hearing person to participate in the finals of a Miss France pageant.

She communicates with French sign language (LSF) but was adamant in speaking at the finals.

[needs update] According to Geneviève de Fontenay, Vouzelaud had a comfortable lead in the French public's votes.

The organizers refused, stating that they only accept the official winner of the country as a competitor.

Vouzelaud then went on to compete in Miss International 2007 on October 15 of that year in Japan against another deaf person, Vanessa Peretti from Venezuela.
