French International
The French International (also Orleans International ) are open international championships of France in badminton . They took place in Orléans for the first time from April 5 to 8, 2012 , making them one of the most recent international badminton championships in Europe. They are not to be confused with the French Open , which are also known as the International Championships of France . The French association is thus underpinning its efforts to install another high-level tournament in France alongside the French Open, after several attempts with the Volant d'Or de Toulouse , the Strasbourg International , the Paris International or the Strasbourg Masters did not achieve the hoped-for success or the the expected continuity.
