France 5 broadcasts Quercy episode of Echappées Belles
The documentary series Echappées Belles, presented by Jérôme Pitorin, aired a repeat of its “Quercy, the history at its heart” edition on France 5 on 18 July 2026 at 21:00. The programme explores the former province of Quercy – covering the Lot department and northern Tarn‑et‑Garonne – and highlights its natural landscape, historic villages, underground heritage, local walnut production, and the regional natural park of the Causses du Quercy. It features reports on the region’s identity, subterranean treasures, a portrait of farmer‑storyteller Clément Bouscarel, and ways locals preserve their heritage. The broadcast follows the original 7 December 2024 airing, which attracted 848 000 viewers, and is succeeded by a feature on Ireland presented by Ismaël Khelifa.
