Monbeig was 3-8 with a 4.88 ERA in 2016, hitting .159/.229/.250. He was 8th in Division I in innings (79 1/3) and tied Rayner Oliveros for the most losses. He pitched twice for France in the 2016 European Championship. Against Italy, he relieved Owen Ozanich in the 4th with two on, no outs and a 1-0 deficit. After a double steal, Marco Sabbatani hit a sacrifice fly. Stefano De Simoni bunted and Monbeig made a good play to get Erick Epifano at home. De Simoni was caught stealing and Monbeig had escaped with relatively little harm. In the 5th, Sebastiano Poma singled. Monbeig retired former major leaguer Alex Liddi. Giuseppe Mazzanti singled in a run but was caught in a run-down for a second out. Monbeig walked Alex Sambucci and Jairo Ramos Gizzi grounded out. France tied it at 3 in the top of the 6th. In the bottom of the 6th, Monbeig walked Alessandro Vaglio, retired Epifano and gave up a single to Sabbatani to score Vaglio. Thomas Langloys relieved and let the inherited runner score; Monbeig took the loss in a 6-3 finale. He also pitched against Silver Medal winner Spain, replacing Lucas Sérafin with a 4-0 deficit, two out and one on. He retired Jesús Golindano to end the inning. He walked Richard Montiel and Jesús Ustariz doubled. He recovered to retire Yancarlo Franco. Dan Camou relieved and let both runners in, charged to Monbeig.
