Ksenia Fedorova was ordered to leave France by the Paris police prefecture on July 29.
The French authorities claimed that Fedorova's actions involved spreading misinformation and harmed state interests.
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticized the decision, calling it political persecution.
Fedorova had led RT France since 2017.
The European Union banned Russia Today and its subsidiaries in February 2022.
French authorities blocked RT France's bank accounts about a year after the EU ban.
RT France's bureau was subsequently closed.
Fedorova has since become an analyst on the CNews television channel.
Fedorova appealed the decision to the French Ministry of the Interior, but her appeal was rejected by the court.

The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs described the expulsion as a 'act of revenge' against a defiant journalist, noting that the French government has repeatedly linked the 'Russian factor' to all problems in the country. — kommersant
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs called for UNESCO and other professional and human rights organizations to publicly condemn the expulsion as an act of unmasked pressure on the journalist. — interfax
