To properly celebrate the 2024/2025 transition, TF1 had chosen to record a program at Chantilly castle. At the helm of this meeting which was a hit in terms of audience: Nikos Aliagas. The host was surrounded by Sopranos and a thousand singers from all over France.
At 11:45 p.m., the TF1 Bloopers passed the torch to the famous host. In front of their television, the viewer may have thought that this handover was happening live. But, in reality, the show was filmed on December 17…
Sopranoprobably one of the most popular and unifying French artists, offered some of his greatest hits. He was surrounded by choristers from the troupe of “15,000 voices for the most beautiful French songs“.
A sumptuous pyrotechnic show
But the highlight of the show was to the credit of the company “Grand Finale», chosen to design and implement a fireworks show. This spectacle was reminiscent of the famous and lamented Nuits de feu de Chantilly!
Grand Final is best known to the general public since the last Olympic Games in Paris where it actively took part in the opening and closing ceremonies of the big summer meeting of the year 2024.
Thus highlighted, literally and figuratively, the Château de Chantilly, jewel of the south of the Oise, was even more beautiful than usual. And what publicity!
22.2% market share for TF1
For a good half hour, the Château de Chantilly became, for the duration of a program like no other, the epicenter of the festivities on New Year’s Eve. At the stroke of midnight, viewers were able to witness a simply sumptuous and obviously unique fireworks display. “I am not ready to forget the transition to the year 2025,” smiles Alexandra who, as a good Cantilienne, would not have missed this show for the world. I would of course have preferred to follow him live. But I suspect that for security reasons, it would have been very complicated. But no matter, the show was there and everyone now knows that the Château de Chantilly is the most beautiful in the world.”
On the side of TF1, anticipation was high for this evening which brought together all the ingredients of a successful program: an enchanting setting, an exceptional fireworks display, an artist among the most popular in the country and a host who is a hit. And the audience results are pretty good. “2025, the Great Fireworks” dazzled 2.76 million viewers, or 22.2% of the public present at that moment in front of their television set.
