This Saturday, June 29 at 9:10 p.m., France 3 is rebroadcasting Murders in Blois with Olivier Marchal who takes us on a journey through Loir-et-Cher.
La collection Murders in… in rerun mode on France 3. Olivier Marchal – who has the distinction of having already appeared in a Murders in… in Martinique – and Anne Charrier take us to Loir-et-Cher and more precisely to the city of Blois. And if often, the series sometimes takes some ease with geography, this episode is very faithful to reality.
Murders in Blois with Olivier Marchal: The historical pearls of Blois on screen
Responsible for investigating an assassination which took place during a historical reenactment in Blois, the police officers Anne Charrier (Alice Deschamps), Olivier Marchal (Denis Frécant), formerly a couple, will be forced to team up. Blois, a perfect city for this scenario, as it can play on walls full of history. Its castle and its magnificent staircase will be good to see on the screen, just like the Robert Houdin house of magic. The exit from the Judicial Court will not escape the cameras of directors Elsa Bennett and Hippolyte Dard, any more than the local IUT. An annex of the François Rabelais University of Tours will in fact be on the program, transformed for the occasion into a police station offering a nice life on the Saint-Louis cathedral… A hell of a visit closed by the Simone Veil hospital, because yes , there are not only historic buildings in life, like in the series.
Loir-et-Cher in the spotlight
In this unit, we note that no scene was filmed in a studio, enough to offer the best of the city of Blois, but also of the Loir-et-Cher department. The TV movie was not limited to urban areas and took its cameras to some rather original places. In addition to the Château de Grotteaux, a luxurious place where you can book a room, we are entitled to the troglodyte houses of Bourré, a town along the banks of the Cher. Finally, another place not to be missed, the Possonnière manor, where the poet Pierre de Ronsard was born. Let it be said, Murders in Blois has something to take us on a journey…
