The ceremony was held at TF1, and was presented by Jean-Pierre Foucault and the Miss France Committee President Geneviève de Fontenay.

Valérie Bègue of Réunion was crowned Miss France 2008 by the outgoing title-holder Rachel Legrain-Trapani of Picardy, Miss France 2007. Bègue was originally supposed to represent France at Miss World 2008 and Miss Universe 2008, but she was replaced by 2nd Runner-Up, Laura Tanguy of Pays de Loire after suggestive photos of Bègue were released to the public and Bègue refused to resign. A compromise was reached that allowed her to keep the title of Miss France 2008 but she was barred from crowning her successor the following year and was stripped of her right to represent France at any international beauty pageant.<ref>[http://www.rightcelebrity.com/?p=2823 Miss France Valerie Begue Photos Scandal] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100102052412/http://www.rightcelebrity.com/?p=2823 |date=2 January 2010 }}</ref><ref>[http://miss-caledonie2008.skyrock.com/1444769767-Vahinerii-Requillart-decline-l-offre-du-Comite-Miss-France.html Vahinerii Requillart décline l'offre du Comité Miss France]</ref>
