Floris steadies his lead on Les 12 coups de midi after near‑elimination

Contestant Floris, the current champion of the French game show Les 12 coups de midi, narrowly avoided elimination on the August 5, 2026 broadcast. After two close calls, he intensified his preparation, using a phone‑based quiz system and “brain‑dump” sessions to reinforce his knowledge.

During the same episode, Floris spotted a production slip: a question about the “pas” of Pas‑de‑Calais had been asked previously in a 2014‑2015 prime. Host Jean‑Luc Reichmann confirmed the answer, and Floris went on to secure the €162,000 prize, marking his 38th victory on the show.
