Intervilles

Intervilles (French:) is a French comedy game show first broadcast in 1962. The show was based on a previous Italian programme. It featured teams representing towns in France competing in a series of games, some of which involved live cows and bulls (referred to as the vachettes).

Broadcast for over fifty years despite several interruptions, it is one of the longest-running French game shows, one of the most adapted French programs for foreign audiences and one of the flagship programs of the summer in France, along with Fort Boyard and . Its success led to the launch of the European version, Jeux sans frontières, as well as the winter versions, Interneige and then Interglace.
