The fort of "Fort Boyard" Illustration - Groupe France Télévisions France 2

All's well That ends well. Fort Boyard returns for a 31st season on July 11 on France 2, according to Le Figaro . At the beginning of June, Alexia Laroche-Joubert, the producer of the show, had nevertheless expressed her concerns on Europe 1, while filming was to start on June 11.

"I'm worried," said the producer. It is a monument both figuratively and literally. This monument is in danger. I normally leave in eight days to start filming and currently there is no insurance. They decided not to insure us. "

Tour in record time

Alexia Laroche-Joubert had explained that millions of euros were at stake, while the threat of a shooting interruption hovered over her head because of the coronavirus. "ALP [the production company] can shut down and never be able to broadcast Fort Boyard again,  " she said. Finally, the channel will broadcast the new edition on July 11, shot in record time.

The team made up of Camille Cerf, Claude Dartois, Clémence Botino, Booder and Tom Leeb will be the first to embark on the adventure slightly modified due to health rules, recalls Le Figaro . The teams go to five (instead of six), they will remain in front of the treasure room instead of crisscrossing the corridors and some events have been abandoned.
