The sixth season of the French version of Dancing with the Stars premiered on TF1 on October 24, 2015, a little over a year after the fifth season. This time, 10 celebrities are paired with 10 professional ballroom dancers, less than the 11 of the previous season. Vincent Cerutti will not return as the main host for the season, being replaced by Sandrine Quétier, while Quétier's previous spot will be taken over by Season 4 contestant Laurent Ournac. Meanwhile, Fauve Hautot, one of the program's most popular dancers, was promoted to the position of judge, due to Season 5 judge M. Pokora being too busy with his concert tour.

Participants

The names of eight allegedly participating celebrities were leaked by the media in the third week of June 2015, with several more names leaking over the following weeks, with many being correct but others, like TV personalities Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff, actor Issa Doumbia, singer Larusso, model and actress Victoria Silvstedt or YouTube personality Norman Thavaud, ending up being false.
