Good news for all those nostalgic for the days when Frédéric Lopez took celebrities to uncharted territories: the host is returning to prime time on France 2 with a magazine called Our True Nature. In this new program, he doesn't just take one, but four celebrities on an adventure close to nature. Here's what we know about this new concept.
Until now, fans of Frédéric Lopez could catch the host on Un dimanche à la campagne, broadcasted in the late afternoon on France 3.
With the new program Notre vraie nature, the host and producer offers a format closer to Rendez-vous en terre inconnue. He returns in prime time on France 2 with a two-hour film that is primarily a human adventure.
As its title suggests, the program "Notre vraie nature" offers personalities the opportunity to experience an original immersion in close contact with nature.
Although this concept bears the hallmark of Frédéric Lopez, this documentary is not a mere carbon copy of "Rendez-vous en terre inconnue," the program that made him famous.
In this adventure, the invited celebrities do not meet indigenous peoples but rather encounter their true nature. This experience gives them the chance to reconnect with the wild and to reveal their personality.
For the inaugural issue of the magazine "Notre vraie nature," Frédéric Lopez invited Adriana Karembeu, Gérard Jugnot, singer Barbara Pravi, and comedian Donel Jack'sman to a unique adventure across Canada.
This cheerful group took off to Quebec for a three-day itinerant journey exploring the vast Canadian landscapes. For two hours, viewers will be able to watch Frédéric Lopez and his four guests navigate semi-independently, simply led by adventure guide Samuel Ostiguy, who describes himself as an "adventure architect."
The presence of this guide is a real asset to the program as he puts the guests at ease and teaches them how to live in the wild. Although he had never been on television before, this Quebecois adventurer is one of the highlights of this new offering.
This journey, which combines outdoor activities and moments of introspection, aims to push guests out of their comfort zone. Confronted with challenges and away from the comforts of modern life, true personalities emerge, creating a program rich in humorous situations and emotions.
This new format fosters an atmosphere conducive to confessions, as is often the case in Frédéric Lopez's shows... The personalities reveal aspects of their lives, including the host who discusses his difficult childhood with his father in this episode.
Frederic Lopez's numerous fans will be delighted by this new concept, a cross between "Rendez-vous en terre inconnue" and "Un dimanche à la campagne!"
For others, the magazine "Notre vraie nature" is worth a look for the beauty of the landscapes and shared experiences, from whale watching to spending a night in a hammock under the stars in the middle of the forest.
This new format will also interest you if you're a fan of one of the invited celebrities. In this adventure where travelers disconnect from daily life and immerse themselves fully in nature, you can discover celebrities in a new light.
The guests, who do not know each other in advance, reconnect with themselves and show a much more authentic side. Frederic Lopez even joked about it, saying: "We see the complainers [...]. I'll let you guess who it is."
To conclude this adventure beautifully, Frederic has prepared a surprise for his guests: a meeting in the middle of the forest with one of the biggest Canadian stars!
To discover this unique format, tune in to France 2 on Tuesday, January 9 at 9:10 pm. Only one episode has been filmed so far. But more episodes could be ordered by the channel if this new program finds its audience.
