It is the cult television game par excellence. Fort Boyardlaunched in 1990 on antenna 2 (that is to say), reopens its heavy doors in preview this year. The game was scheduled for this Thursday, May 1, on France 2, when it is usually returned in summer each year. At the announcement of France Télévisions, which deviated from the traditional date of recovery, many were able to think of the disastrous state of the fort, which hit the headlines recently.
While a colossal site, estimated at 44 million euros in Le Parisien, is necessary to restore the building in state and protect it from the elements, are we witnessing the last episodes turned in emergency before the collapse? None of this. Fort Boyard seems to be still able to welcome adventurers. And in terms of upcoming work, production reassures: “Filming and works will coexist, there is nothing likely to have implications on the shooting conditions,” said Frédéric Lussato, president of Adventure Line Productions, on a daily basis.
-And Fort Boyard very special
This return of Fort Boyard As of May 1, is the opposite to good news: France 2 draws its jewel to celebrate its 35th anniversary, during an event premium. For the occasion, the host Olivier Minne welcomes a prestigious team with former emblematic faces that have marked the history of the game. Starting with Jean-Pierre Castaldi, who was at the helm of the fort in the early 2000s. The former animator returned to the sides of the former Producer Alexia Laroche-Joubert, the swimmer Frédérick Bousquet, who embodied a character in a character in Fort Boyardas well as journalist Isabelle Morini-Bosc. The chef Norbert Tarayre and Nathalie Simon, who signs his 7th participation, will also be present.
The team will have to collect a maximum of boyards for the benefit of the Dreams association, working for children and adolescents with serious pathologies. France 2 and Alp also placed a common thread in this special issue. Last season, Father Fourras had to gradually empty his prohibited cells to protect his treasure. All except one: the gallery of portraits, teeming with former emblematic characters ready to challenge the candidates for the occasion.
From Passe-Partout to Félindra or Red, celebrities should therefore face a real parade of historic figures of the fort. The 2025 season of Fort Boyard Then come, but later, resuming its summer programming that has become the norm for years now.
