'''''Intervilles''''' ({{IPA|fr|ɛ̃tɛʁvil|lang}}) 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 ''{{ill|La Carte aux trésors|fr}}''. Its success led to the launch of the European version, ''Jeux sans frontières'', as well as the winter versions, ''Interneige'' and then ''Interglace''.

==Broadcast== The show was aired from July 17, 1962, on RTF, then on ORTF from 1964 to 1973. After 12 years of absence, it reappeared on July 10, 1985, on FR3, before moving to TF1 from July 4, 1986, to September 6, 1999, despite allegations of cheating in 1997. France Télévisions revived the show and initially aired it on France 2 from July 5, 2004, before moving it to France 3 from June 23, 2006, to August 26, 2009.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://inatheque.ina.fr/doc/TV-RADIO/TV_3123460.001/le-touquet-saint-quentin|title = Le-touquet-saint-quentin |publisher=Inatheque |accessdate=2021-07-29}}</ref>

A special programme was broadcast on France 2 on June 29, 2013, to mark the show's 50th anniversary, and an international version was broadcast on Gulli from 2014 to 2016.<ref name=ans /> In 2019, it was announced that the programme would be revived, albeit without including the vachettes. Nagui finally announced in October 2023 that the show was no longer a priority, given the cost of living and the financial difficulties of different cities. However, in September 2024 it was officially confirmed by France Télévisions' Stéphane Sitbon-Gomez that the show would be revived in the summer of 2025.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.francebleu.fr/infos/medias-people/le-jeu-intervilles-sera-de-retour-sur-france-televisions-a-l-ete-2025-1842675|title=Le jeu "Intervilles" de retour sur France Télévisions à l'été 2025|trans-title=The game "Intervilles" returns to France Télévisions in summer 2025|language=fr|date=4 September 2024|website=France Bleu|accessdate=18 November 2024}}</ref>

In the 1990s, {{ill|Olivier Chiabodo|fr}} said the games were rigged to keep up suspense by soaping up surfaces for the team in the lead.<ref>{{cite news | last=Sage | first=Adam | title=We cheated endlessly says Olivier Chiabodo, host of French It's a Knockout – World | work=The Times | date=2017-09-25 |url-access=subscription | url=https://www.thetimes.com/world/europe/article/we-cheated-endlessly-says-olivier-chiabodo-host-of-french-it-s-a-knockout-8djhhwp3j | access-date=2021-07-29}}</ref> This was after Chiabodo had been fired from the programme by TF1 after having been accused of cheating by ''Le Canard enchaîné'' newspaper.<ref name=lf /> Chiabodo was accused of helping Puy du Fou win in 1996 and 1997 by indicating quiz answers to them using his hands.<ref>{{cite web | title=VIDEO.

In 2013, a special anniversary programme was broadcast on France 2 to celebrate 50 years of the programme. The episode included a repeat of the original final between teams representing Dax and Saint-Amand-les-Eaux. This was done in the hopes of a revival to be broadcast the next year.<ref name=ans>{{cite web |url=https://www.ouest-france.fr/culture/intervilles-50-ans-apres-le-retour-des-vachettes-410792 |title=Intervilles. 50 ans après, le retour des vachettes |publisher=Ouest France |language=fr |date=2013-06-29 |accessdate=2021-07-29}}</ref>

== Vachettes == ''Intervilles'' became well known for its use of horned cows and young bulls in the games, referred to as the "vachettes" (cowhides). The bulls were not originally a part of the programme, but when Lux visited Buglose in South West France, he was persuaded to include bulls after seeing the popularity of cattle shows.<ref name=js /> He asked local breeder Joseph Labat to provide the bulls, an agreement that continued through three generations of the Labat family.<ref name=js /> The bulls were adolescents and entered the ring with rubber balls on their horns for safety.<ref name=rb /> The vachette was let loose to disrupt the competitors and would often attack them by goring them.<ref>{{cite web | last=Dejevsky | first=Mary | title=The knockout spirit of a French summer | website=The Independent | date=2011-10-23 | url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/the-knockout-spirit-of-a-french-summer-1329125.html | access-date=2021-07-29}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | title="Intervilles" 2013 sur France 2 : la première bonne surprise télé de l'été | website=Le Plus | date=2013-06-30 | url=https://leplus.nouvelobs.com/contribution/895653-intervilles-2013-sur-france-2-la-premiere-bonne-surprise-tele-de-l-ete.html | language=fr | access-date=2021-07-29}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | title=Nathalie Simon sur tous les fronts | website=Le Parisien | date=2008-08-11 | url=https://www.leparisien.fr/culture-loisirs/nathalie-simon-sur-tous-les-fronts-11-08-2008-135756.php | language=fr | access-date=2021-07-29}}</ref> The vachettes were not trained in any way and were allowed to behave naturally. Individual cows were selected for the programme based upon their temperament.<ref>{{cite web | title=Intervilles sans vachettes : l'émission "se prive de son meilleur moment" | website=Europe 1 | date=2020-01-28 | url=https://www.europe1.fr/societe/intervilles-sans-vachettes-lemission-se-prive-de-son-meilleur-moment-3946063 | language=fr | access-date=2021-07-29}}</ref>

In the 2000s, a cow called Rosa became a popular star of the programme. She appeared in every episode from her debut in 2004 to the series' end in 2009 and appeared in the 2013 anniversary special.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ouest-france.fr/medias/television/intervilles-rosa-la-vachette-star-de-l-emission-est-morte-6908512 |title=Intervilles.

In 2019, it was announced by France Télévisions that ''Intervilles'' would be revived but that it would not include the vachettes. There was a negative reaction to this from towns in southern France, where bullfighting is common. They accused the network of having been cowed by animal rights activists and moving towards "Anglo-Saxon customs".<ref>{{cite news | last=Sage | first=Adam | title=French It's a Knockout revival 'cowed to animal rights activists' |url-access=subscription | work=The Times | date=2020-01-24 | url=https://www.thetimes.com/world/europe/article/french-its-a-knockout-revival-cowed-to-animal-rights-activists-svx7zbw8q | access-date=2021-07-29}}</ref> The former host Nagui supported the move saying he did not like seeing how the animals were treated when he was the host.
