Promoted to Ligue 1! [R]
Going up to Ligue 1 next year: Lens, Montpellier, and Boulogne.
Narrowly missing out and spending another year in Ligue 2: Strasbourg, Metz, and Tours.
Lens had wrapped up the title prior to this week's round.
Strasbourg fell out of the promotion places when they lost the last game 2-1 at Montpellier (who had been sitting third) and Boulogne defeated (and relegated) Amiens 4-0.
Tours and Metz both needed help they didn't get (they had been depending on a Strasbourg win) heading into the last round - and Tours lost their final game to fall to sixth.
Amiens joined already-relegated Troyes and Reims in the drop to Championnat National when their defeat was combined with saving wins for Chateauroux and Nimes.

Re: Promoted to Ligue 1! [R]
Lens have great fans so its good to see them back up. They averaged over 28,000 per game this year and thats incredible for L2.
Montpellier, I remember the last time they were in L1 and they averaged liked 16,000 per game in a 30,000 + stadium so they really dont have that great fan support.
Boulogne, I dont know much about but its a smaller town so I guess we shouldnt expect them to have a long L1 stay.
