Miss Côte d'Azur is a French beauty pageant which selects a representative for the Miss France national competition from the department of Alpes-Maritimes and portions of Var in the region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (PACA). The other regional pageant within PACA is Miss Provence, which selects a representative from the other departments of PACA and the remaining portions of Var. The first Miss Côte d'Azur was crowned in 1932, although the competition was not organized regularly until 1962.
