The famous entertainment will make its return next summer on France 2 while retaining most of its fundamentals. But without the traditional cows.
In recent days, representatives of Dax, Mont-de-Marsan and Bayonne have announced that their city will not take part in the new edition of « Intervilles » . In a version without the traditional cows, the game created by Guy Lux in 1962 will make its comeback next summer on France Télévisions with Nagui, Bruno Guillon, Camille Cerf and Valérie Bègue as hosts as well as Yoann Riou in the role of referee.
” We We were contacted by the production company, who confirmed the absence of cows”explained the mayor of Dax and president of the Union of French bullfighting towns, Julien Dubois, at the microphone of France Bleu Gascogne. “This implies that they would suffer trauma by participating in “Intervilles”. Which is absolutely not the case. » An opinion shared by Charles Dayot, mayor of Mont-de-Marsan who cannot imagine this program without the presence of cows.

“As an elected representative from Bayonne, I agree with the position of all the comrades of the southwest to say that we are not distorting this beautiful program”declared Olivier Alleman, municipal councilor delegated to the mayor. If he hears “traditional speeches”Nagui emphasizes that these declarations come at a time when a law wants to ban minors from bullfights. “It’s the same man who organizes the events in Dax and Mont-de-Marsan in the Landes. He was supported by a former toreador whose position on the subject is obvious”reacted the host in West France.
On the four evenings announced, Nagui promises respect for the fundamentals which have made the success of “Intervilles” with its festive atmosphere and its unusual games. “There are no longer animals in TV shows because we know their sensitivity to noise and crowds, their discomfort”he pointed out to our colleagues, taking the example of the withdrawal of tigers in “Fort Boyard” which did not harm the success of the program. “There are almost 35,000 cities in France, I only need six of them to start and we already have a lot of applications from former participants. I'm not worried. »
Nagui also revealed to our colleagues that a cow will be present in “Intervilles” in 2025 in the form of a mascot designed by Zep, the creator of Titeuf: “She will participate in the party and the atmosphere, but she will be in foam with someone inside”.
