Elodie Gossuin had maintained a privileged link with Geneviève de Fontenay

Elodie Gossuin was very marked by the disappearance of Geneviève de Fontenay, who died at the age of 90, on August 1, 2023. “I loved being yelled at by her. At the same time, we could talk about everything. There are few great ladies like her. It's one of the most beautiful encounters of my life and I miss her”, she said in Eric Dussart and Jade's show. She had maintained strong ties with the lady in the hat after her departure from the Miss France competition. “Sometimes she didn't want me to come see her either because she kept this crazy dignity of wanting to present herself only when she was ready to be in her best light”she said.
