The Voice: la plus belle voix (season 3) is the third season of the French reality singing competition, created by media tycoon John de Mol. It was aired from 11 January 2014 to 10 May 2014 on TF1.
One of the important premises of the show is the quality of the singing talent. Four coaches, themselves popular performing artists, train the talents in their group and occasionally perform with them. Talents are selected in blind auditions, where the coaches cannot see, but only hear the auditioner.
Three of the coaches continued from season 2, namely were Florent Pagny, Jenifer and Garou. But the fourth coach Louis Bertignac from seasons 1 and 2 was replaced by British singer Mika. Kendji Girac of Team Mika was the third season winner with finale held on May 10, 2014.
The Blind Auditions were broadcast on 11, 18, 25 January and 1, 8 and 15 February 2014.
During the battles, each coach was assisted by another singer as assistant coach, during the preparations to the show:

"L'épreuve ultime" was a new step introduced for the first time in the French show lasting two episodes. The process was designed to reduce contestants to six by team.
Within their respective teams, each coach would select three contestants each to sing a song of their choice. With each coach, two of his three contestants would forward to the live shows and the third would be eliminated.
Garou and Jenifer presented their "trios" on 22 March 2014, with Mika and Florent Pagny following suit on 29 March 2014. Later on, contestants Louane and Atef were invited in the first on 22 March, the second on 29 March.
