Cyril Féraud moves to Fort Boyard as TV champion Vincent breaks 300k‑euro record

On June 2‑3 2026, contestant Vincent surpassed the 300,000‑euro milestone on France 2’s quiz show "Tout le monde veut prendre sa place", ending with a prize of 300,400 euros after 229 victories and becoming the most lucrative champion in the programme’s 20‑year history. The episode attracted 1.71 million viewers, a 23.5 % market share.

Host Cyril Féraud, who presented the show and critiqued Vincent during the game, announced a shift in his broadcasting duties. As part of cost‑saving measures at France Télévisions, Féraud will leave France 3’s afternoon game "Duels en familles", which aired its final episode with families from Loire‑Atlantique and Aude, drawing 680 000 viewers (9.8 % share). He will take over the iconic adventure series "Fort Boyard" on France 2 and continue to host his other prime‑time formats such as "100 % logique" and "The Floor".
