Florence Dumortier, 22, was elected Miss Midi-Pyrénées on Saturday September 3 in Villemur-sur-Tarn. The young woman will represent the region in the election of Miss France, on December 17 in Châteauroux.
The emotion has barely subsided, this Sunday noon in the gardens of the sumptuous Château de la Garrigue, in Villemur-sur-Tarn. Dressed in a magnificent sequined dress, with a tanned complexion, Florence Dumortier lends herself to her first photo shoot of Miss Midi Pyrénées 2023.
She finishes her physio studies and enters the Miss Toulouse competition
Elected Miss Toulouse in March, the young woman, who has just obtained her diploma as a physiotherapist, is struggling to fall back to Earth. “I don’t realize yet, even if my life has already changed since this Saturday evening. When I decided to embark on the Miss Toulouse adventure, I told myself that I wanted to make the most of it. That’s why I waited to finish my studies. And there, I was elected Miss Midi-Pyrénées…”
She grew up in Portet-sur-Garonne
Born in Paris but arriving in the region at the age of 4, Florence grew up in Portet-sur-Garonne, where she went to school and college, then attended her high school in Cugnaux. She now lives in Toulouse. She is passionate about dance, a practitioner of modern jazz, classical. And played a little piano as a child.

But Florence is also very good, we are very proud that she represents Toulouse in the election of Miss France ”, reacted this Sunday Michèle Pagnacco, president of the Miss Toulouse committee.
The committee recorded its 5e Miss Midi-Pyrénées over the last 15 elections. In the coming days, it is the Midi-Pyrénées committee which will take over, and accompany Florence towards the election of Miss-France.
