Contents
The competition, known as the Trophée Éric Bompard since 2004, lost its title sponsor in the summer of 2016 due to a lack of communication from the French Federation of Ice Sports.
Entries
The ISU published the preliminary assignments on June 30, 2016.
Changes to initial assignments
The French organisers decided not to replace Mendoza/Kovalev despite the ISU's rules stating that it is "mandatory" to invite another pair if one withdraws more than 14 days before the event. The pairs competition ended up with only six entries after a further withdrawal (Esbrat/Novoselov).
