“He did a lot for television”: Jean-Luc Reichmann pays a fine tribute to Sylvain Augier in Les 12 Coups de midi

This Thursday, September 5, 2024, the presenter of 12 coups de midi paid tribute to the journalist Sylvain Augier, who passed away in March 2024. He emphasized that the former host of La carte au trésor “did a lot for French television.”

On March 19, 2024, the French learned of the death of Sylvain Augier. The journalist originally from Toulouse began his career at France Inter, then worked at Sud Radio before taking his first steps in television, presenting Sexy Folies on Antenne 2 in 1986. He became a regular in public service in the 1980s and 1990s, notably piloting Don’t dream from 1990 to 1999 and The treasure map from 1996 to 2005. When he died, he left behind his partner Carol, and their two children Manon and Hadrien.

A loss for the small world of television. Many of his former colleagues rushed to Sommières, in the Gard, on March 28, to say a final goodbye to him at his funeral. The tenor of France Télévisions, Michel Drucker, spoke about this disappearance, indicating that he found the former TV host particularly “tired and worried” during their last meeting before his death. Cyril Féraud, Benjamin Castaldi, and Cécile de Ménibus have all paid public tributes to this great man of television.
