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 to 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 takes us to Loir-et-Cher and more precisely to the town 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
Tasked with investigating a murder that took place during a historical reenactment in Blois, police officers Anne Charrier (Alice Deschamps) and Olivier Marchal (Denis Frécant), formerly a couple, will be forced to team up. Blois is a perfect city for this scenario, as it can play on walls full of history. Its castle and its magnificent staircase will be on screen, as will Robert Houdin’s magic house. The exit from the Court of Justice will not escape the cameras of directors Elsa Bennett and Hippolyte Dard, nor will the local IUT. An annex of the François Rabelais University of Tours will indeed be on the program, transformed for the occasion into a police station offering a nice view of the Saint-Louis cathedral… A great visit closed by the Simone Veil hospital, because yes, there are not only historic buildings in life, as in 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 make us travel…
