“For two years, I saw what was happening with these animals and I don't want to repeat that“, declared Nagui on France Inter in 2020, about cows in Intervilles. So why do you want to restart the program? To revive competition between cities, a concept which gave its name to the program.
Towards a boycott ofIntervilles in the South-West?
Moreover, after removing the tigers from Fort Boyard, France Télévisions will increasingly limit the use of animals. In a new charter adopted, the public audiovisual group even demands greater ethics on the subject from all its commercial partners. But, in the South-West, this return without cows is controversial. The mayors of Dax, Mont-de-Marsans and Bayonne announced last week their refusal to participate in the show. A resident of Landes even launched an online petition against this choice which “denature” Intervilles and makes him lose his “ADN“. “When a host uses the showcase of a program to impose his opinions and distort a program that has marked generations, that seems problematic to me.“, adds the latter.
Philippe Corti protests, Nagui reassures viewers
Joining these voices is Philippe Corti, who was the program's DJ between 2005 and 2008.It's a popular nugget Intervilleswhat are we going to serve? A half-cold sanitized tray without cowhide? Guy Lux must be turning in his grave! Nagui asked me if I would like to come back if it was Intervilles. No, without cowhide, it's no. Otherwise we would have to do the swimming Olympics without water in the pool, on concrete! It’s right-thinking, Nagui is woke“, launched Philippe Corti in Midi Libre, convinced that the cow “s’amuse” during filming. On the social networkI promise you that next summer, Intervilles will be as you want it with a playful character and its ability to bring viewers together around a popular show“. With Ouest-France he clarified that the cow would however be present in the form of a mascot.
