For two years now, Frédéric Lopez has been on the France 2 antenna every Sunday afternoon. As a reminder, the host is at the helm of the Sunday show called A Sunday in the countryside, in which he collects the confidences of several personalities. “An encounter that is both explosive and full of emotion between three generations and three very different worlds. Somewhere far from the tumult, with Frédéric Lopez, they met again for a weekend. A timeless moment to meet and talk about love, friendship and life. In a house open to the unexpected and surprise visits, between emotion and laughter, everyone reveals the invisible thread of their story to A Sunday in the countryside unlike any other“, indicated France 2 in a press release. However, the presenter will unfortunately not receive anyone in his country house this Sunday, May 5, 2024. In fact, the show A Sunday in the countryside will not be not broadcast on France 2 this week.
Instead of their usual program, viewers will be entitled to a sports broadcast. In fact, the public channel will broadcast that day a semi-final of the Rugby Champions Cup, which will pit Stade Toulouse against the English team Harlequins. As a reminder, the British team lost to the French team during the group stages. “During the final stages, it’s completely different. Everything is tighter. What we learned during this first clash is that Toulouse is a very dangerous team, against whom all mistakes are paid for in cash. It has international level players this Sunday, we will have to be much better than in the first match., said player Stephan Lewis at a press conference. This is not the first time that the show called A Sunday in the countryside is replaced by rugby. This was already the case during the Six Nations Tournament.
