Bad home defeat for Cannes who surrenders 3-1 against Paris, Montpellier momentarily fly on the top of the standings by defeating Chaumont in straight sets, while Tours beats Nice with the same result and Toulouse wins in 4 sets against Sete.
In details, after an amazing start of the season, another defeat for Cannes which, after winning the first set, surrenders in front of a great performance by Paris, and in particular its opposite Overbeeke, author of 31 points (including an ace, a winning block and the last point of the match), with a fantastic 63% in attack.
