Miss France 2026 integration trip to Singapore
At the beginning of March 2026, around three months after her coronation, Miss France 2026 takes off for Singapore with Malika Ménard, Diane Leyre, Vaimalama Chaves and Mareva Galanter. This integration trip, filmed for TF1 and 50′ inside, alternates visits, filming and relaxation in a luxury hotel.

Hinaupoko agrees to taste durian, a large ovoid berry bristling with spines, which can reach nearly 40 centimeters and 5 kilos, with a creamy taste but a smell so strong that the fruit is banned in many hotels, taxis and public transport in Southeast Asia.
