La Carte aux Tresors


Something else that we think we only see in France: La Carte aux Tresors. And that is every summer we spent a few weeks vacation in France. I guess they only make this program in the summertime, but it must be for maybe 20 years already. For those who do not know the program, the concept is actually pretty simple: two teams need to find a treasure using a series of clues they receive from the program lead.

And French television would not be French television if it did not add a number of cultural things to it. So the clues are given within context, you will get a backgroud story, see some footage etc.
Lots of shooting is from a helicopter presenting the countryside, the whole scenery, to you. And the teams have a copter to their disposal as well. So as a viewer you may learn a lot about some specific unique kind of task the fishermen of Britany perform while watching the 'treasure hunters' running from one place to another. Who wins in the end is not so important. It is the roads leading towards the final stage where it is all about.
Vacance en France? La carte aux tresors!
