They are 14 years old in the race to succeed as a “French people’s favorite people” in Collioure in Occitanie. This year’s winner will be appointed on July 2 in France 3, during a program organized by Stéphane Bern.
It is the vote of the spectators, open until March 7, which will designate the favorite people of the French.
The economic benefits are not insignificant for the winning village, which can wait a tourist peak during the summer after the program. The Breton people of Rochefort-in-Terre, chosen French favorite village in 2016, had seen their summer assistance from 600,000 tourists per year to one million. Many municipalities describe “the phenomenal impact” of the tourism program.
