Plus beautiful life, even more beautiful!

It’s official, the television phenomenon that marked France is back stronger than ever. After an 18-month pause, Plus Belle La Vie returns under the evocative name “Plus belle la vie, encore plus belle”. With a record audience of 3 million viewers right from its grand return on TF1, the series has proven it hasn’t lost any of its appeal. But what does this new version hold? Which Marseille locations continue to shape the plots, and what does it reveal about this iconic city? Dive with us into this captivating new universe.

The saga that never stops

Launched in 2004, Plus Belle La Vie quickly established itself as a true television institution in France. 18 seasons, 4,666 episodes, millions of loyal viewers, and an in-depth exploration of the daily lives of the residents of the fictional neighborhood of Mistral. The final clap in 2022 left an immense void among fans. But 2024 marks the rebirth of the series, still rooted in the spirit that made it famous, but with a touch of modernity.

Plus belle la vie, encore plus belle : plongez dans la renaissance de la série culte

In this new version, new characters emerge while leaving room for the historical figures who have made their mark. The plots are modernized, addressing topics that are increasingly relevant to current events. This strong comeback is a true promise: to reclaim everything we loved about the series while discovering new perspectives.

Visit the iconic places of Plus Belle La Vie

Want to dive even deeper into the universe of the series? The Maison du Tourisme d’Allauch offers you a guided tour of the filming locations. Wander through the streets of this charming Provençal village to discover the famous Bar du Mistral, the medical office, and the police station recreated in the historic center of Allauch. This village, now an essential filming location, reflects the soul of Marseille and its surroundings, with its authentic charm.

You can also visit the studios of Belle de Mai, which are reopening after years of filming. A major novelty is that the outdoor scenes now take a significant part, and the Bar de l’Hostellerie, located in the heart of Allauch, replaces the usual studio set. Nestled between the church and the town hall, this bar fits perfectly into the spirit of the series, with its typical Provençal setting.

A dive into the daily life of Marseille

One of the secrets to the longevity of the series is its ability to blend reality and fiction. The plots, although fictionalized, tackle current social issues, allowing many viewers to identify with the characters. From the diversity of life paths to the challenges of daily life, each character brings a unique perspective. From forums to social media, discussions about Plus belle la vie are endless. This series is more than just entertainment; it is a window into French society.

Why this comeback is a success

The return of the series in January 2024 was an immediate success, with an audience that showed up from the very first broadcast. More than 3 million viewers tuned in for this first episode, proving that the connection with the audience has never been broken. What makes Plus belle la vie, encore plus belle strong is its ability to evolve while staying true to its roots.

With new sets, refreshed characters, and a plot that promises many twists, the series appears well on its way to a new era of success. The Provençal charm of Allauch, the dynamism of the city of Marseille, and the grounding in contemporary issues give this new version an even more vibrant breath.
