However\, its stature transformed drastically during the 2000s: \n\n\n\n\nBWF Super Series (2007–2017): Promoted into the elite BWF Super Series in 2007\, the French Open established itself as one of the 12 premier international badminton tournaments.\n\n\n\nBWF World Tour Super 750 (2018–2026): Under the revised Badminton World Federation event structure introduced in 2018\, the French Open was classified as one of five top-tier BWF World Tour Super 750 events.\n\n\n\nOlympic Connection & Venues: Host cities have periodically shifted to accommodate major infrastructure growth. Notably\, the 2024 edition was moved to the Adidas Arena (Porte de La Chapelle Arena) in Paris to serve as the official test event for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n
