This year the competition was being held in the Ladoucette château (castle) in Drancy from
May 28 to June 7, 2016.
There are rules regarding the team composition as well as board choices, for example, each team must have at least one French player, one male and one female. At least four of the eight players in the teams must be European Union players residing in France, and no team can have more than three foreign players. Finally, if two players are over 100 Elo apart in a team, the higher rated must play on a higher board.
To favorite to win the title was the team of Clichy which played with Maxime Vachier-Lagrave and Laurent Fressinet at the top boards. But for a long time the team of Bischwiller kept the pace and had chances to win the title. The tournament was decided in the tenth and penultimate round when the two teams played against each other. Clichy won with 4-1 to become French Team Champion 2016.
