From August 2 to August 30, 2023, France 5 is offering an unprecedented immersion into the exploration of the world's greatest rivers in the documentary series"Au bout c'est la mer", including the Seine.

August 2, 2023 marks the start of a fascinating adventure offered by France 5. The voyage of exploration "Au bout c'est la mer" (At the end of the river is the sea), embodied by the passionate François Pécheux, aims to introduce viewers to the world's rivers, their cultures and their stories. Among these destinations, particular attention is paid to the Seine.

This sixth season, available every Wednesday in August at 8:50 pm, promises fascinating discoveries. François Pécheux, the adventurer, takes us on the waves of the Kapuas in Indonesia, the Ouémé in Benin, the Thames in England, and of course our beloved Seine.

Program:

  • On Wednesday, August 9, 2023 at 21.00, the Seine takes center stage. François takes us on a journey of over 770 kilometers, from the source in the Côte d'Or to the mouth at Honfleur. Flying over the great lakes of the Aube, crossing Paris and meeting local personalities, he reveals the secrets of this river.

  • At 21.40, don't miss the rebroadcast of "Au bout c'est la mer Rio San Francisco" in Brazil.

Each documentary is an invitation to meet the people who live by the rivers, to understand their history and discover their ecological wealth. Thanks to his talent as a storyteller, François Pécheux creates a genuine link between us and the little-known, often forgotten peoples who populate the banks of the world's rivers.

Through the Seine, we also discover France's river heritage, from Alexandre's family distillery to Josy's majestic barge, via the Moulin d'Andé. It's a real journey into the soul of our country, where every stop is an opportunity to discover hidden treasures.

This August 9, let yourself be carried away by the gentle waters of the Seine, discover its history and share in the adventures of those who bring it to life. Watch"Au bout c'est la mer" every Wednesday in August on France 5, and remember: at the end of every river is the sea.
