Miss France 2022: discover all the questions of the general culture test!

This year again, the 29 Misses who are competing for the title of Miss France must take the traditional quiz before parading on the podium on December 11, 2021. The general knowledge test, eagerly awaited and feared by the contenders, was held Wednesday, November 24, 2021 in Reunion. The candidates for the Miss France election have all prepared in their own way for this decisive step. Moreover, be aware that most regional committees offer their own general culture test to prepare the young woman who will represent them. If a Miss gets a bad mark, this can therefore have an impact on her final ranking. Indeed, this may jeopardize a place in the fifteen finalists. In an interview with TV Mag Le Figaro, Wednesday, November 24, Jade Lange, Miss Centre-Val de Loire spoke about her apprehension about this general culture test. "I follow the news to be on top, but it stresses me out," she said. And to add: "My grandpa gave me a general culture book, but I couldn't take it because it was too heavy. On the other hand, I read it".

The Misses took the general culture test

Still for TV Mag Le Figaro, Marion Ratié, who represents the Languedoc-Roussillon region, said she was rather serene at the idea of ​​carrying out this test. "It's not something that stresses me out, but I think it's important. From the top of my 20s, it's obvious that there are a lot of things that I don't know. We learn with the age, but I find it important to revise”, she relativized. Good student, Tumateata Buisson, who will represent Tahiti on December 11, 2021 in the Miss France competition, said that she had downloaded several applications to help her review the news. "It's a long-term job. I downloaded several applications including those of Le Parisien and Le Monde to inform me about national and international news," she added.
