Biography of Sylvie Tellier

Sylvie Tellier, born on May 28, 1978, is a French beauty queen and television personality. She first gained recognition when she was crowned Miss France 2002 and went on to represent her country in the Miss Europe competition.

Before becoming Miss France, Tellier studied law at the Institute of Legal Studies in Lyon, where she earned a doctoral degree in law. She hails from Sables d'OLONNE, a town where her family still resides. In 2000, she won the title of Miss Vendée, and the following year, she was named Miss Lyon in the Miss France pageant.

Tellier's victory in the Miss France 2002 competition was celebrated in Lyon, with a televised event held at the Mill Mélusine Hall on December 8, 2001. The pageant was watched by up to 12 million viewers on TF1, making it the 55th edition of Miss France. The first runner-up was Sandra Bisson (Miss Guadeloupe), followed by Louisa Prieto (Miss Côte d'Azur) as the second runner-up, and Emmanuelle Jagodsinski (Miss Artois-Eno) as the third runner-up. Tellier also represented France in the Miss International pageant, where she secured the second-place position in Japan.

After her Miss France reign, Tellier participated in the Princess Rally, a five-day race from Paris to Monaco, in June 2004. Alongside her was her co-pilot Sallie Pike Woodford, driving a 1970 MG B.

Following her pageant success, Tellier transitioned into television presenting. She joined the "I" team on Match TV, hosted by Frédéric Lopez, and became known as the trusted woman with a hat. Additionally, she authored the book "No" Compromise, featuring an interview with Geneviève de Fontenay, which was published by Michel Lafon on May 27, 2005.

In April 2005, Tellier became a member of the Endemol company's "Miss France" and "Miss Europe" organizations. Today, she holds the position of CEO of the "Société Miss France et Miss Europe."

Tellier married Camille Le Pain on June 23, 2007, in Gordes, Luberon. They welcomed their son, Oscar, on January 16, 2010.

In April 2010, Tellier denied all accusations made by Geneviève de Fontenay in the "big gazette" + channel, where Tellier served as the press secretary of Endemol. She pretended not to understand Fontenay's absence from participating in Celebrity Farm (an Endemol production) and criticized the Miss France committee (also owned by Endemol) for the release of explicit photographs in the magazine "Interview." Tellier defended the honor of Miss France and even went as far as to suggest a conspiracy involving Fontenay.
