Ligue 2 has already started. The 20 clubs are: AC Ajaccio Auxerre Bourg-Péronnas Brest Châteauroux Clermont Gazélec Ajaccio Le Havre Lens Lorient Nancy Nîmes Niort Orléans Paris FC Quevilly-Rouen Reims Sochaux Tours Valenciennes
Should also point out that the 3rd, 4th and 5th divisions have all been renamed. No more National, CFA, CFA2, now its National 1, 2, 3, respectively.
Is this the year that Lens finally goes up!!?? Btw id like to see Paris FC go up.. But it's probably more realistic that they end up going down. Fingers crossed

Nimes Olympique have clinched a spot in Ligue 1. Ive never seen them in the top flight since I started following France Football (mid 2000's.) I think their support with be decent. Maybe not top tier in terms of capacity crowds but maybe in the middle somewhere. Last time I checked they were 4th in Ligue 2 in average home attendance. Not bad since Ligue 2 doesnt draw huge crowds for the most part.
