The Miss France competition was founded in 1920, using the name La plus belle femme de France (English: The most beautiful woman of France). After two editions, the competition was abandoned, and later rebranded as Miss France in 1927. Miss France was held annually until 1940, due to World War II, and has since been held annually again since 1947.
