Miss France Elodie Gossuin's chaotic vacations: Dubai lockdown, French wildfires

Elodie Gossuin, former Miss France and Miss Europe, was trapped in Dubai at the start of the U.S.–Iran confrontation in early 2024. She posted on Instagram about intercepted missiles and drones, describing the situation as the "worst day of her life" and asked followers for any assistance or contacts that could help her and her family secure safety.

In July, Gossuin traveled to her family chalet in the Landes region of southwestern France. The area was being ravaged by intense wildfires, and she shared images of smoke and ash, thanking firefighters for their efforts. Her social‑media updates highlighted the challenges of evacuations and the impact of the fires on local communities.
