- France 2 launches the 31st season of Fort Boyard this Saturday, July 11.
- On the air every summer since 1990, the show is a real institution that punctuates our year.
- 20 Minutes explains why your vacation can start from the first notes of the credits.
This Saturday evening, the credits for Fort Boyard will resonate in our living room, and we shiver in advance. "Tiiin tin tin tin tin tin tin-tin-tin-tin-tiiin", this is our anthem from the Champions League to us, fervent supporters of the FC archipel charentais. With this melody, the start of our summer is given. That Father Fouras and Passe-Partout come to invade our post, we ask only that. And when Olivier Minne pronounces the mythical phrase "Felindra, tiger head", we feel the spray whipping our face.
But then why are we so happy with the return of the show? First of all because the break between the two seasons was exceptionally long. With a first episode broadcast on July 11, France 2 marks the latest start in the history of the game. In addition to these scheduling concerns, Fort Boyard is also a real monument of TV that we take pleasure in finding each summer, for many different reasons.
Who says Fort Boyard says "go"
Television is a media for meetings. Since we are a bit of a backpacker, we like to find our programs every day or every week at the same time. It's the same with Fort Boyard , which resists against all odds all year round and dominates audiences almost every Saturday evening. The programmers of the channels should also be concerned: despite all the novelties launched each summer (if, if there are some), the game of France 2 is the only one to come back every year since 1990. Despite an audience fewer in front of the post at this time of the year, the faithful are still present today. The proof that it is in the old forts that we make the best adventure games.
Who says Fort Boyard says "madeleine of Proust"
We (almost) all have memories with the show. Is it because we even watched it during our week of vacation on the French Riviera? Is it because our parents allowed us to eat an ice cream on the sofa at the same time? Is it because we were afraid of Father Fouras (even today)? For all these reasons, Fort Boyard is a real Proust madeleine. All these memories linked to summer resurface to the sound of the keys that Passe-Partout holds, and make us want to dive our feet in the sand.
Who says Fort Boyard says "family"
There is no better example than Fort Boyard when trying to define what a family show is. With her colorful cells, her crazy trials and her puzzles, she pleases from 7 to 77 years old. "The children and adolescents of yesterday, parents or grandparents for some today, have passed the torch by putting their children before the program," said Olivier Minne at 20 Minutes last year. In summer, it is also synonymous with family reunions, large tables around a barbecue and little cousins who steal our phone to play with. Fort Boyard therefore remains the ultimate tip for having two hours of peace in the evening.
Who says Fort Boyard says "escape"
For many French people, the summer program is not just about fruity cocktails and sunbathing on the beach. For those who do not go on vacation or who continue to work, Fort Boyard can be the breath of the week to get away from its daily routine. As noted with Koh-Lanta during containment, viewers are in demand for landscapes that sound like somewhere else. What? How? 'Or' What ? You say that Charente-Maritime does not make you dream as much as Fiji? However, the production puts the means to offer a real adventure game with tests in the sea and drone plans overhanging the building. That is enough for our happiness.
