Coaches and hosts[edit]

Julien Clerc, Jenifer, Mika and Soprano are the four coaches of Season 8. This is a different line-up of coaches than in its previous seasons. Coaches Pascal Obispo and Zazie from Season 7 were on tour and thus unable to participate in Season 8 as coaches. Coach Florent Pagny had announced at the end of Season 5 that his contract would end in 2018. Jenifer, a Season 8 coach who had served previously, made her comeback after three seasons off. Soprano, who has also worked as a coach in the Kids version, joined the Season 8 group. Julien Clerc replaced Florent Pagny.
