Amazing Race : la plus grande course autour du monde ! (Шаблон:Lang-en) is a French reality competition show based on the American series The Amazing Race. Following the premise of other versions in the Amazing Race franchise, the show follows nine teams of two as they race around the world. The show was split into legs, with teams tasked to deduce clues, navigate themselves in foreign areas, interact with locals, perform physical and mental challenges, and travel by air, boat, car, taxi, and other modes of transport. Teams are progressively eliminated at the end of most legs for being the last to arrive at designated Pit Stops. The first team to arrive at the Finish Line wins a grand prize of €50,000.

The show was hosted by Alexandre Delpérier, produced by Shine France for CBS Studios International and in association with ABC Studios (a division of The Walt Disney Company), distributed by The Walt Disney Company France and broadcast on D8.[1]

D8 began airing the season on Monday 22 October 2012, and D17 on Tuesday 23 October 2012, both at 8:50 p.m. CEST (UST+2)[2]

The finale aired on 24 December 2012 with cyber-friends Anthony Martinage and Sonja Sacha as the winners.

Development and filming

Файл:Parc de Saint-Cloud - Rond-point de la Balustrade 1.jpg
The Starting Line for the inaugural French Amazing Race was at the Rond-point de la Balustrade in the Parc de Saint-Cloud, Paris.

On 23 March 2012, it was announced that Canal+ had acquired the format for a French version of the show. Filming started on 30 June 2012 in Paris. Teams travelled to seven countries for 24 days, spanning over Шаблон:Convert in five continents, finishing on 23 July at the Stade de France.[3][4] This season visited the United Arab Emirates, Thailand, Japan, the United States (making it the first foreign version of the show to visit this country), Brazil and South Africa. Among the highlights are a leg in the streets of Bangkok, an African safari, an excursion to Iguazu Falls and the beaches of Rio de Janeiro. Teams also visited Tokyo, Dubai, Los Angeles, Hawaii and Cape Town.

Unlike its American counterpart, the show is more narrative and informative in content as the show stopped several times throughout each episode to provide viewers with information about the culture and life in the places they visit.[5] Also differing from the American version is that teams are presented their first clue for the next leg at the Pit Stop of the previous leg. The teams are also often told of their next destination at the Pit Stop before they even open these clues. Teams normally don't begin the next leg at the Pit Stop, rather, they are released separately from airports or begin the next leg at hotels they stayed in during the Pit Stop.

Casting

Applications for the show started 16 April 2012 and ended on 29 May 2012.[6] On 27 September 2012, the teams were announced on Télé-Loisirs.fr.[7]
