Overview

  • The 2025 edition of Intervilles premieres on France 2 in July with co-hosts Nagui and Bruno Guillon leading the revamped show.
  • Live cattle have been removed in favor of Topa, a 92 kg foam mascot created by Titeuf author Zep to uphold animal welfare.
  • Electro duo Ofenbach, which includes Guy Lux’s grandson Dorian Lux, composed the new theme song to replace the original rights-bound jingle.
  • Production will feature an on-set DJ to boost atmosphere and may forgo live broadcasts to streamline operations.
  • Cities such as Dax and Mont-de-Marsan have declined to participate due to the absence of traditional vachettes.
