L'École des fans

L'École des fans (French for School of Fans) was a French TV show that was hosted by Jacques Martin from 1976 to 1998 on Antenne 2 then France 2.

Famous French singers/musicians were featured on the show. Vanessa Paradis is likely the most well known contestant of the program.

A number of children between the ages of three and ten are part of the show where the host asks them some questions and then they would sing a song or play the music of the featured singer/musician then they would receive a number of gifts from the artist and from the show.

This was a very children-friendly show. They were giving marks to their peers and then (if the marks were far-off)—Jacques Martin would ask them why they give such and such mark (leading to usually funny explanations). Then Jacques Martin would go with the singer to count the marks and, invariably, everyone won with the same mark.

Since September 2009, L'École des fans has been hosted by Philippe Risoli, on Gulli.

A Québécoise version of the programme with a similar format has aired on for French-Canadian audiences on the TVA network. It commenced in 2004 and continued until 2008, and was hosted by Quebec actor and broadcaster Charles Lafortune.
