Sylvie Tellier headed the Miss France committee for 17 years, but today she has other projects. In Lucile Woodward’s Long Live podcast, she confided how grueling this job could have been and how it had sometimes even taken her away from her family.
When it comes to beauty, Sylvie Tellier knows her subject. If she is today an accomplished businesswoman, she has long competed on the podiums and the most prestigious beauty titles. She was first Miss Lyon in 2001, then Miss France in 2002. But she didn’t stop there! At the end of her reign, she became general director of the Miss France committee, and even Miss Europe, from 2007 to 2022. At the same time, she was also a television columnist for a time. In October 2016, she also joined the cast of the seventh season of Dance with the stars, broadcast on TF1. This very rich career took place alongside an equally demanding family life. Mother of three children, Sylvie Tellier is one of those who shines on all fronts, including that of personal accomplishment. However, her quest for perfection has not been without difficulty, and although combative, the person who has a master’s degree in business law can sometimes appear a little tired.
