Fort Boyard back on France 2!
For the occasion, Jean-Pierre Castaldi, one of the historic animators of Fort Boyard, returns not as a master of ceremonies, but as an exceptional candidate. He will play alongside Norbert Tarayre, Nathalie Simon, Frédérick Bousquet, Isabelle Morini-Bosc and Alexia Laroche-Joubert. Together, they will have to take up the challenges under the watchful eye of Father Fouras, who will reserve a great novelty: the opening of “The gallery of portraits”. Through this initiative, he will call on his army of formidable former characters to protect his treasure and his precious boyards.
The challenge will not only have a playful vocation: the team plays for the benefit of the Dreams association, which realizes the dreams of very seriously sick children. For 30 years, the association has enabled more than 7,000 children to see their dream come true, thanks to the commitment of 800 volunteers and 30 departmental delegations. A call is launched: everyone can become a “Dream maker” by making a donation, because “A dream can change everything”.
