Dimitri Chatelain
Chatelain hails from Mouans-Sartoux, Alpes-Maritimes, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, France. His journey in pageantry began when he was crowned Mister France Côte d’Azur 2026 in November 2025.
“This experience gave me the opportunity to grow, to challenge myself, and to represent my region with pride,” Chatelain said. On January 17, 2026, he represented Côte d’Azur at Mister France 2026 and competed against 26 other candidates at the Théâtre André Malraux in Rueil-Malmaison, Hauts-de-Seine, Île-de-France, France.
Maxence Brovillé of Auvergne, France won the title while Chatelain was the first runner-up. According to the latter, the result made his motivation even stronger.
“Beyond titles and competition, I believe that true success comes from positive effects we have on others,” Chatelain said. “My goal is to inspire people through authenticity and simplicity.”
