At The Games, Citizens: A Daily Magazine Dedicated To The Olympic Games On France 3.
In preparation for the Paris 2024 Olympics, France 3 is launching a new daily magazine presented by Carole Gaessler. This program, titled "At the Games, Citizens!", aims to reach all audiences, including those who do not enjoy sports, in order to help them discover and appreciate this global event.
Behind the scenes of the preparation for the Olympics
From July 24, 2023, one year before the start of the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games, France 3 launches a countdown by offering a new daily magazine entitled Aux jeux, citoyens !
For one year, viewers will have an appointment from Monday to Friday at 8:40 pm on France 3 with Carole Gaessler and Alexandre Boyon. The journalist, who presented her last 7pm news on June 29, 2023, will now devote herself to this daily segment on the Olympics, their history, and their preparations.
This program will accompany French viewers throughout the year and introduce them to the preparation of future participants in the Olympics. With this new addition, France Télévisions enriches its schedule with a new sports magazine alongside Stade 2 and Tout le sport...
The group, which will broadcast the events on its various channels, hopes to stimulate viewers' interest in the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games and encourage the public to follow the competition.
A daily appointment to promote and love these Games.
One of the highlights of this new magazine is its desire to address everyone. Regarding this project, Carole Gaessler stated: "I will ensure that this program is accessible to everyone. I will ask the questions that the general public asks."
Even viewers who are not passionate about sports will find in this 26-minute daily appointment an original approach, with a short format and reports focused on the human aspect.
"Aux Jeux, citoyens!" aims to introduce the French audience to the actors of these Games. The objective is for viewers to become attached to them and understand the stakes of this event in order to enjoy following the actual competition.
In summary, this television segment promises us a daily dose of the Olympics for a year, while waiting for the opening ceremony and the broadcast of the events...
French regions in the spotlight
France 3 being the channel of the regions, the new daily magazine "Aux Jeux, citoyens!" will also highlight all the French regions that are preparing to host Olympic events.
This global event, which will bring together no less than 15,000 athletes, will indeed take place far beyond the borders of the capital, with events in various parts of France. Paris had not hosted the Games for 100 years and this event is a huge stake for our country. You may not know it, but 2,500 SMEs are already working on the preparation of these Olympic Games in France!
The show will shed light on the history of the Olympic Games but also on all the professionals who are mobilizing in our regions to prepare for the Paris Olympics. One of the reports, for example, will follow the firefighters of Marseille who are securing the marina of the city in anticipation of the sailing events...
These human-interest reports will allow France Télévisions viewers to get into the spirit and gradually enter the adventure of Paris 2024 before experiencing the excitement of this great event.
A whole team of champions on set.
This daily show will take place half in the studio and half in the form of reports. Journalist Carole Gaessler will not be alone in hosting this magazine as she will share the stage with sports journalist Alexandre Boyon and two Olympic or Paralympic athletes every evening.
Among the sports personalities that France Télévisions has called upon, we will find Théo Curin, Marie-José Pérec, Stéphane Diagana, boxer Sarah Ourahmoune, basketball player Céline Dumerc, handball player Luc Abalo, and swimming champion Laure Manaudou!
These 7 champions will take turns on the stage alongside Carole Gaessler until the start of the competition on July 26, 2024. This dream team's mission is to unite French viewers around this global sporting event.
A true rallying cry, "Aux Jeux, citoyens!" aims to accompany the rise of the Paris 2024 Olympics as the French become passionate about this event. With approximately one year until the opening ceremony, the countdown has begun!
