And this second edition promises to be particularly challenging, with a  strong French presence This applies to both men and women, as well as several foreign pairs capable of playing leading roles. Here's an overview of the forces at play.

A particularly dense male portrait

Le  masculine chart  looks particularly interesting in Marnes-la-Coquette. The top seed should be the Dutch team.  Julian Prins / Youp De Kroon both of them  124th in the world , who have accumulated 938 points. Behind them, the Nacho pair  Moragues  (120th) / Timéo Fonteny should occupy the status of 2 seed, a new partnership to watch closely with the young Frenchman, now  144th in the world .

Another pair that is sure to attract attention:  Thomas Leygue / Jesús Moya , third pair on the list. Gradually returning to the top after his long injury, the Frenchman is now at  149th world rank  and will form with the Spaniard,  138e , one of the most dangerous teams in the tournament. Right behind them,  Johan Bergeron  (181e)  / Julien Seurin  (176th) should complete the top 4 of the seeds.
