In Paris, where cultures intersect in harmony, the election of Miss Cambodia in France 2026 promises to be a major event. On March 28, a gala will spotlight remarkable young women who carry a rich heritage and clear ambitions.
Among them, Angelina (no. 13), alias Angélie Nassau; Sopheape (no. 4); and Marilyne (no. 16). These three figures embody Cambodian beauty, blending natural grace, commitment, and a strong presence. Let's discover their stories.
Angelina, the committed future architect
At 17, this high school student in general studies is charting the lines of a solid future. Passionate about art and hands-on work since childhood, Angelina aims to become an architect while honoring Cambodia's essence. "The Miss Cambodia in France contest is a way for me to represent our warm and modest people," she explains with maturity.
Her goal? To introduce France to the gastronomy, values, and history of a country facing deforestation and urbanization. If elected Miss, she would get involved with ecology associations, showing it's possible to progress without destroying one's assets.
Sopheape, from a resilient family
Sopheape Ung, 21, proudly carries her BTS MCO, a success shared with her parents who left Cambodia amid instability and violence.
"Participating in Miss Cambodia in France is a personal challenge to build confidence, honor my roots, and promote our culture," she says with conviction.
Guided by a strong desire for peace and harmony, she aspires to inspire youth: "With courage and perseverance, everyone can contribute to a better future." Her quiet assurance evokes the Khmer figures of the golden age, ready to shine on stage.
Marilyne, the dynamic and connected student
From Nice, Nini Marineau – alias Marilyne (no. 16) – studies physiotherapy with positive energy. Seen by her circle as altruistic and caring, she describes herself as ambitious, resilient, determined, and curious, with a proactive yet impulsive temperament. Interested in psychology and a sense of responsibility, she aims to:
"Create a space where young Cambodians in France reconnect with their roots, traditions, and culture through events and appearances."
Her commitment seeks to affirm the presence and vitality of the community. A radiant presence, like an apsara dance under Provençal lights.
These three candidates unite beauty and conviction, ready to share the Khmer spirit in France. On March 28, the gala will blend fashion, culture, and inspiration in a memorable moment. Who will be crowned? The anticipation builds.
The big night at Pavillon Baltard: elegance and Khmer heritage
This gala, the third anthology edition, will transform the iconic Pavillon Baltard – this jewel of glass and metal – into a temple of beauty and culture. By reservation, guests will enjoy a dinner-show infused with Khmer artistic treasures, supporting their favorite candidate in an atmosphere of shared elegance. The event owes its splendor to prestigious partners: GFC Pharma, TV5Monde (media partner), Concept Climat Vinhs, Poly d'Or, Krama Angélia, and RSCP. These allies forge an unbreakable bond between France and Cambodia.
Sixteen faces, sixteen stories. But Sreypich, Jennifer, and their rivals already carry high the colors of the Khmer kingdom: infinite love for their roots, a beauty that elevates and unites. On March 28, at Pavillon Baltard, the crown will honor not just a queen, but a movement.
