France 24's Le Paris des Arts aired a theatre-themed special on 23 October 2026, hosted by Valérie Fayolle. At the Théâtre de la Renaissance, François-Xavier Demaison appears in "Laponie", a comedy in which a family New Year's Eve gathering escalates into a settling of scores. Demaison described theatre as among the last collective experiences, calling the stage a magnificent bubble. The programme then moved to Versailles, where François Morel pays tribute to Molière in "L'école des femmes"; Morel said each era interrogates the great classics through its own preoccupations. A third segment covered the stage adaptation of Laetitia Colombani's bestselling novel "La tresse", with the novelist discussing the secrets of the adaptation. The episode was published on 23 October 2026 at 12:09.
