The Miss Earth Reunion Island organization hosted its coronation night for the Miss Earth Reunion Island 2021 on 5 October, 2021 at FestiYacht de Bourbon where beauties from all over the country competed for the coveted title. Mathilde Grondin was crowned as Miss Earth Reunion Island 2021 at the end of the finale succeeding former queen Cloe Bienvenu Miss Earth Reunion Island 2020.

Mathilde hails from Saint-Joseph and loves to immerse herself in creative work. She enjoys painting and letting her imagination run wild on the canvas.

She took to social media to express her gratitude and beautifully crafted this message for her followers and contemporaries, “I can't describe the torrent of emotions going through me right now! Winning the title of Miss Earth Reunion means more than wearing a crown and scarf. It is the privilege of being heard on a larger scale and it is a way to invite our young people, including meetings, to engage in important causes, such as those related to environmental protection. To me, it is an honor to be able to carry my voice and fight in a fight that seems essential to me. I want to thank the committee and the partners that the girls and I worked with. A big thank you also for Mr. Madarassou, a benevolent president. “

She further added, “I also want to congratulate my eco-sisters, Miss Earth Air, Miss Earth Water and Miss Earth Fire for their titles. All the other candidates were beautiful and didn't demerit. You are beautiful from inside and out.

Tonight, I'm getting a little closer to my dreams. A new chapter is available to me and I will remain focused on my goals. Heading to the Miss Earth pageant internationally, where I'll be representing our beautiful island.”

The twenty-year-old college student is now all set to represent Réunion Island at the 2021 Miss Earth pageant later this year.
