A 23-old Tahitian teacher has won the Mister France title.

David Meitai, who is a sports teacher in Faa'a, was selected from among 24 finalists in France to become the first Tahitian to win the title.

He will briefly return to French Polynesia at the end of the month before embarking on a year-long programme linked to winning the title.
