I also think that the fate of Le Castellet has been sealed: no spot on the 2023 calendar.

But rumor has it that there is strong lobbying by France. Maybe as compromise FIA will add
in extremis 1 race to the provisional F1 calendar ?
By the end of this month Stefano Domenicali will also come forward with info about the possibility of a street race in Nice (close to Monaco) someday in the future.

Spa-Francorchamps: one of the most revered circuits worldwide. Unfortunately a mess in 2021 because of the rain showers. Would be truly loss for F1 if it loses its spot on the F1 calendar. Maybe each two years as compromise ?
Monaco: it's cynical to say, but Liberty Media is supposed to know that also crashes attract viewers.
