MISS NORTH PAS DE CALAIS. This year, the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region is represented by Agathe Cauet, a Miss with an atypical career who experienced a difficult episode in 2020. Who is Miss Nord-Pas-de-Calais 2022?
His body hasn’t always done him a favor. Agathe Cauet, the representative of Nord Pas de Calais for the Miss France 2023 contest, this Saturday, December 17, even resented him for a whole period of his life. The 23-year-old young woman suffered a few years ago from a 9-kilo tumor, half-cancerous, half-benign, which had to be operated on when she was in her final year. The doctors had prepared her for the worst with the possibility of chemotherapy, but in the end the young woman got away with less treatment and surgery. The one who hopes today to become Miss France 2023 has kept a scar of 7 cm at the level of the belly. If this one has long complexed her, she has managed to overcome her lack of self-confidence since.
Today, Agathe Cauet is a nurse and graduated two years ago from the CHR in Lille. She then started working in 2020, in the midst of the Covid period. “It was formative but it was complicated to live” she told Lille Actu. She is also passionate about drawing.
Agathe Cauet is not related to host Sébastien Cauet, whom she knows “no more than you” she needed to clarify.
Elected among twelve candidates
The election of Miss Nord-Pas-de-Calais took place on October 15, 2022 was held for the Miss France 2023 contest, in Liévein. Twelve candidates were present on stage with the hope of recovering the title of Donatella Meden and thus being able to carry high the colors of the multi-titled region during the national competition. The jury and the public gathered that evening voted in the majority for the young Agathe Cauet, who therefore became Miss Nord-Pas-de-Calais 2022!

Iris Mittenaere was also elected Miss Universe in 2016.
