A “Bell Towers War” between two cities, the boys, but no more cow leather: cult game of the French summers since 1962, Interviles He returns this Thursday, July 3, 2025 in France 2 in a modernized version and piloted by Nagui, a bet in terms of audiences.
“One of my hopes is that the child we all have in us is the first spectator of this program,” said the pre -producer at a press conference in early June.
Interviles 2025 will extend on four nights transmitted to a weekly rate, live at 9:10 pm for the first, Beauvais (Oise) will receive Couulanges-Lès-Nevers (Nièvre). Among the six selected cities, none is Southern, most South is Gap (Hautes-Alpes). This is where the second night will take place on July 10, for a confrontation against Bourgoin-Jallieu (Isère).
The 17 will take place in Wallers-Arenberg, opposite to another city from the north that is long and old, Saint-Amand-Le-Eaux. He won the latest version of the game broadcast in 2013 and was a finalist of the first, in 1962. The final on July 24 will also organize at Wallers-Arenberg.
“We are proud to be able to represent (…) Rural France, France of what is called a vacuum diagonal,” said Coulanges-Lès-Nersvers, Julien Jouhanneau.
Nagui will be surrounded by a team of animators, Valérie Bègue, Camille Cerf, Magali Ripoll, Bruno Guillon and Yoann Riou (who will arbitrate).
Extravagant physical challenges
There will be a dozen games per program, of a total of 25 events for the entire program. Among them, “The Wall of the Champions”, “The Elasti-Foot”, “The Epic Race” or “The Rope”.
IXAGONAL BREADING BREADING PROGRAM, Interviles It was created in 1962 by Guy Lux, who replaced him with Léon Zitrone and Simone Garnier. Each number opposes two cities through a series of strange physical challenges inspired by the village festivals, which consist, for example, to cross soapy slopes or put a slope to the force of the arms.
The “foundations” ofInterviles“It’s live, being in the provinces, black soap, Guadins, cream cakes, bad faith,” Nagui listed. If these foundations do not move, each generation has its own memory ofIntervilesWith different presenters.
Interrupted after 10 years, the game made a first return in 1985 to FR3, before changing to TF1 from 1986 to 1991, even with the original trio, after 1995 to 1999 with Jean-Pierre Foucault in the controls. After, Interviles He made several sporadic comments, with other presenters, including Nagui. It has not been distributed in a lasting form since 2009.
“Chanananana”
The return of this emblematic family game was planned by France Télévisions since 2019, but had been repelled several times, especially due to the Cavid pandemic.
Unlike the original version, there will be no cows to create the tests. At the end of 2024, this decision had won the cities of Taurine de Bayona, Dax and Mont-de-Marsan, who had announced that they would not participate.
“It is not the position of a vegetarian boho, not a personal position, it is an exchange with the chain,” Nagui justified, who says he saw dying in 2005 during the show tests: “I do not see myself producing a program: ‘We are live, at any time an animal can die.'” The cows are replaced by Topa, pet with the image of a cow designed by designer ZEP, father of the BD Titeuf hero.
Another absent emblem for “a rights problem” according to Nagui: the famous historical generic and his intoxicating phrase “Chanananana”. “We kept Chanana … For words, not exactly for the air, “said the host. The new generic is the work of the two musicians who form the electro ofnbach duo, including Dorian Lux, Guy Lux’s grandson.
