Overview
- TF1 kicked off the ninth season Monday as Marie-Sophie Lacarrau unveiled 24 candidate markets and opened online voting.
- The first vote runs until May 28 to set a top 10, the results follow on May 29, and a second vote through June 12 yields three finalists before the 13H reveals the winner in the week of June 22.
- A super jury of three TF1 personalities and three viewers will meet in mid June, with its ranking counting for 30% of the final result, and TF1 is taking applications for the viewer seats now.
- TF1 will air daily profiles of each market during its 13H news, then produce on-site reports for the top 10 from June 1 to 12.
- The field spans mainland and overseas markets, including Hesdin-la-Forêt, Sainte-Anne in Guadeloupe, and Saint-Leu in Réunion, and the exposure is expected to bring fresh attention to local vendors and tourism.
