Chaumont finally ended its nightmare start to the season by beating Nice 3–1 at home and claiming its first win after five straight losses.
Poitiers cruised to a clean sweep in Sète, while Le Plessis-Robinson also won 3–0 against Cannes to stay firmly in the top four. Ajaccio continued its good run with a tight straight-sets victory over Narbonne.
Saint-Nazaire put up a fight but couldn’t stop Tourcoing, who pulled away for a 3–1 win. The result pushes Saint-Nazaire further from the top eight.
The standout showdown came on Friday, with Tours turning things around against Paris. After losing the first set, Tours dominated the next three, responding strongly despite a sudden coaching change just two days earlier. New coach Igor Juricic seemed to steady the team, helped by sharp performances from Yaoussia Kavogo and Nik Mujanovic.
