Created in 1962 by Guy Lux, passed by TF1, France 2, France 3 or even Goldthe show Intervilles has already experienced many lives. Several presenters too.

A long-standing project, delayed four years ago due to Covid, and which is now subject to calls for a boycott from certain cities following Nagui's desire not to put the mythical cows on display. antenna.
Without tongue in cheek, Nagui spoke at length to West France on what he plans in this new version of the program. Credits, cows, parity, events, presenters… The host promises a fun, faithful and modern version of the game which will undoubtedly revive the chauvinism of the French and give them a taste for partying again. Interview.
Why restart Intervilles ?
Because I hosted and produced the show for years. I had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. Falls and cream pies were funny 40 years ago and they're still funny today. I wanted to find this party again.
Will the format be the same as back then?
It's going to have to shine, it'll have to shine, it'll have to laugh, it'll have to surprise. We want to create a new show that allows those who watched the program at the time to find everything they liked but by revisiting the concept to bring it up to date. We don't want to do a replay. It will be a re-creation and a recreation. We will keep the fundamentals, adding modernity. And the spirit of the times is one of diversity, parity and respect for all beings. These values will not prevent the party, the kids, the swimming pool or seeing the wall of champions again.
Will other cult events also be back?
Spinning, swimming pools, tug of war… The classics will all be there! The wall of champions will also be there but it will be mixed from now on. At the time, it was always a show of strength between men, often done by the local firefighter. We will also pay attention to clothing, which will no longer be degrading for the candidates. They will still fall into the pool but we can imagine that there will be a wetsuit to avoid any voyeurism.
On the other hand, goodbye cows, is that right?
Respect for being…
