France’s greatest VGC success is Hippolyte Bernard‘s top 16 place at the 2022 World Championships, as well as the France National Championship titles won by Adrien Boulet (2010) and Lionel Fey (2011).
The most recent tournament held in France is the 2024 Lille Regional, played with the VGC Regulation Set E ruleset in October 2023. The finals saw 2018 EUIC Champion Simone Sanvito defeat Frenchman Aurélien Soula to win his second Regional title!
