French Figure Skating Championships
The French Figure Skating Championships (French: Championnat de France Elite) are an annual figure skating competition organized by the French Federation of Ice Sports (French: Fédération Française des Sports de Glace) to crown the national champions of France. The first official French Championships were held in 1908 in Chamonix. The competition, exclusively for men, consisted of special figures and free skating; Louis Magnus was the winner. A competition for women was added the next year, pair skating was added in 1911, and ice dance in 1948. The championships were interrupted during both World War I and World War II.
Medals are awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance at the senior, junior, and novice levels, although not every discipline may be held every year due to a lack of participants. Alain Giletti currently holds the record for winning the most French Championship titles in men's singles (with ten), while Andrée Brunet (née Joly) holds the record in women's singles (also with ten). Andrée Brunet also holds the record in pair skating with her husband Pierre Brunet (with eleven), while Jean-Paul Guhel holds the record in ice dance (with nine), although these were not all won with the same partner.
The French Federation of Ice Sports – originally known as the Union des Fédérations Françaises des Sports de Glace – was founded in 1903 to oversee all winter sports in France except for skiing. Championship events in figure skating, speed skating, and ice hockey were held at the Palais de Glace in Paris. In 1908, the organization was renamed the Fédération Française des Sports d'Hiver, and it oversaw figure skating, ice dance, speed skating, bobsleigh, curling, and ice hockey. The first official figure skating championship event for men was held in 1908 in Chamonix; Louis Magnus was the winner. A separate event for women was held the next year in Paris; Yvonne Lacroix won the event. Championships in pair skating began in 1911 and ice dance in 1948.
The 2026 French Championships will be held from 18 to 20 December 2025 at the Patinoire de Briançon in Briançon.
