Miss France 2014

Coquerel was crowned as Miss France 2014 and represented the region of Orléanais at the pageant. After winning over Miss Guadeloupe, Miss Côte d'Azur, Miss Provence, and Miss Tahiti, respectively 4th, 3rd, 2nd and 1st runners-up, she received her crown from the previous Miss France, Marine Lorphelin. Some of the first statements she said to the journalists after winning the title were "Je suis fière de représenter une France cosmopolite, " meaning, "I'm honoured to represent a cosmopolitan France".[4] During Miss France 2015, it was announced that Flora Coquerel was the tallest Miss France ever elected.

Miss World 2014

She received the highest interview score and was in the top 20 at Miss Top Model and top 25 at "The People's Choice" in Miss World 2014. However, she failed to enter the Top 25 on the Finals night due to her late arrival in London because she attended the Miss France 2015 finals night on 6 December 2014.
