Organiser Laurent Rerat came up with the idea as a protest against the popular obsession with youth.
The only criteria to enter was that the candidate could walk without an aid, had to be aged over 70, and lived alone.
It was won by Leontine Vallade, from Geneva, who succeeded against nine other candidates from five nursing homes.
Vallade refused to reveal her age when asked by journalists, but had to prove she was over 70 to qualify. She convinced the jury with "her smile and her charm".
Vallade won a dinner in a luxury restaurant.
Mr Rerat is now planning a Mr Retirement Home.
