Winx Club (French)

With France 3 initially serving as the show's primary broadcaster in France, the dub first premiered on their T O 3 programming block - later renamed France Truc, then Toowam, and finally Ludo - on February 11, 2004, and they would go on to premiere the entirety of the original run, consisting of the first four seasons, until some time in 2010. Due to the series' revival in 2011, France 3 premiered the TV specials from November 2011 until February 2012. Nickelodeon networks in French-speaking regions also began airing the series by this time, due to the acquisition of the Winx Club franchise by Viacom. After airing season 5 from 2012-2013, France 3 would stop broadcasting the series for unknown reasons. They also distributed the dub on DVDs under the France Télévisions Distribution label until December 4, 2013.

Production of the dub moved from Dubbing Brothers to C YOU SOON for season 6 and 7. Coincidentally, new releases moved to Gulli, beginning on October 25, 2014, with the premiere of season 6; said season would later be distributed on DVD by Primal [Screen]. The seventh season later aired in 2015 with DVD distribution by Citel Video.

Like most international dubs, season 8 was never dubbed.

Errors

 * In episode 107, Bloom calls Pepe (Nero) a chick whereas Pepe is a duck.
 * In episode 119, Roccaluce is misnamed Roccaduce.
 * In episode 124, when "We Girls are the Winx" plays the SFX of episode 106 can be heard.
 * Throughout season 2, Pixies had multiple translation, at the beginning the name was "Mini-fée" (Mini-fairy), but in episode 219 it's "Lutin" (Elf) and after episode 220 it'll use the original name "Pixie", it's because of the fact that Pixie can be translated by the french word for fairy and elf in French.
 * Throughout season 2, many songs where left in instrumental even the one who already had a French version like "Combat Power", "I'm crazy for you" who was left in instrumental when it's heard in episode 207 but also "We Girls are the Winx" which was dubbed only in episode 207, 209-212 and 214.
 * In episode 210, the Italian version of "We Girls are the Winx" plays underneath the French version.
 * In episode 215, the normal audio for the ending theme is used for the special concert ending, causing the Winx's dialogue in the middle to be absent - instead, Méry Lanzafame's vocals for that part play as usual, which do not match their lips.
 * In episode 221, Stella refers to Aisha by her original name at one point, even though her name is Layla in this dub.
 * In episode 225, during the transformation Stella shouts
 * Throughout season 4, unlike the Italian version which was used as a base, "Enchantix" was not changed to "Believix" in the ending theme.
 * Throughout the four one-hour specials, the Season 4 theme song is used and simply cut to the length of the specials' opening titles, which means that it mentions being back and Believix, which are irrelevant to the specials.
 * Unlike the Italian version, which uses the Season 4 theme song but edited to match "Winx, You're Magic Now," the French version plays the song as-is with the Season 4 instrumental and all the way through until after the verse, when it then cuts to the ending part.
 * In the opening titles for the four one-hour specials, even though the credits are localised into French, the text reading "Aisha" is not changed to "Layla" which is inaccurate to her name in the dub.
 * In Special 3, When Icy use "Crystal Cage" spell, Bloom shouts the spell name.
 * In Special 4, Layla powerline is "Layla, fairy of water" but in the rest of the show it's "Layla, fairy of fluids".
 * In episode 502, Bloom and Stella powerline become "Bloom, the fairy of the dragon flame" and "Stella, the fairy of the sun and the moon".
 * In episode 513, the acapella for Sirenix is off-sync and not cut properly.
 * Some episodes of season 5 of this dub were released to YouTube with textless assets at the end after the actual episode finishes.
 * Throughout season 6, the acapella for the theme song is not cut properly, so the last line "Nous sommes les Winx magiques" is taken from the second chorus instead of the end as it was in Italian and English.
 * In episode 601, the acapella for "Way of Sirenix" is used from the full version and not cut properly, so the second verse plays instead of the third verse and is off-sync.
 * In episode 602, the instrumental of Sirenix is duplicated and the acapella plays for longer than it should.
