François-Élie was selected for the French national team for the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London. She entered both the T37 100m and 400m races, and in the 100m she qualified for the final after finishing in first place with a time of 14.30.[2] In the final she ran a time of 14.08 to beat Namibia's Johanna Benson into second place, winning her first Paralympic gold medal.[2] In the 400m François-Elie finished 4th in the first-round qualifier, in a time that was not good enough for a position in the final.[3]

On 8 June at a meet at Saint Cyr-sur-Loire, François-Elie posted a time of 13.68 in the 100m, a new world record.[4] In July, she was seen as a favourite going into the IPC Athletics World Championships in Lyon. She entered both the 100m and 200m races winning both to become the world champion in her class. In the 200m final, François-Elie ran a time of 28.35, beating the 13-year-old world record held by Lisa McIntosh of Australia.[5]
