This paywalled Le Parisien article (from its reputed media reporter Benoît Daragon) has new information of France Télévisions' (and NBC too) studio facilities for the Olympics. The article says both networks will have studios on the Musée de l'Homme at Trocadero Square, a perfect sightseeing spot which overlooks the Eiffel Tower. NBC will be installed at the ground floor, whilst FTV will have studios at the rooftop of the building, specially used for France 2's coverage. All of the main network's content, from Télématin to the newscasts, and obviously the evening highlights program JO Club and the entertainment spectacular Quels Jeux ! (produced by the team behind the controversial talk show Quelle époque !, produced by Hugo Clément and Régis Lamanna-Rodatet, and which will be presented by Léa Salamé and will feature Michel Drucker as co-host), will air from there.

As for France 3, it will install a secondary studio at the French House, which will be installed at the Grande halle de la Villette cultural centre, located not too far from the Paris city border with the IDF communal suburbs. Additionally, each of the three core services broadcasting the Games will also have dedicated galleries. Both moves are waiting approval from Paris city police.

Speaking of FTV, the network is preparing to unveil a new look for its sports programming. The new look, designed by Movement, is precisely done in preparation for the landmark event, with a reorchestrated theme and updated visuals. The new design debuts today with Six Nations coverage.
