Luc Olié, forty, is found murdered with a bullet in his chest.Elisabeth Richard, the deputy public prosecutor, and Paul Jansac, the police chief, are in charge of the investigation, which turns up more and more culprits.Jealousies, old family grudges, a food-labelling scam...

The unidentified body of a homeless man is found in a dune of the Bay of the Somme, a shotgun wound in his back. An accident or murder? The local gendarmes, commanded by Aurore Debac, investigate.
But Aurore is assisted by the opinionated Major Paul Beaujour, who's just arrived in the area, has unusual methods and knows nothing about local customs, in particular the special rights accorded to some of the local notables, most of them hunters, members of the very posh Gentry Club, who might be involved in the killing.

The body of a dead woman is found in a barrel hurtling down a hill in the middle of the night. Her death is strangely reminiscent of the legend of Paracols, about a mediaeval lord of the manor who put a witch into a barrel filled with nails and shards of glass, and pushed it down a ravine.
The prime suspect is the husband, a violent and jealous painter from Collioure, for whom the victim was both model and muse. Alice Castel, from the Collioure gendarmes, and Pascal Loubet, from the Perpignan police, will have to join forces to solve a case which is more complex than it at first appears.

Newlyweds Emma and David are living a dream, with a baby on the way. They go on honeymoon to a simple cabin in the forest.

For the police, David is the prime suspect, with all the evidence pointing to him: his refusal to cooperate, his unexplained absence when the events happened, the testimony of a neighbour, his wife’s fortune...

A destructive doubt takes root in Emma’s mind. Who is this man she married?

Everything points to the newcomer, who'd make a perfect culprit. But in this sham world, no one is really what they seem and everyone is a suspect. What are the Versini family's secrets?

Since her husband's death, Jade has run the palatial hotel which has belonged to the Marsac family for generations. On the evening of her daughter's engagement party, her future son-in-law, Fabien, is found murdered next to a prostitute in one of the hotel suites. What do you do when your daughter is wrongly accused of murder and thrown in jail? When your competitors try to unsettle you using the most underhand methods? When your in-laws want you gone? Jade Marsac is alone against the world.

September. An anonymous killer murders seven people at 8pm on the number 86 bus on the Boulevard Henri IV in Paris. Martin learns that Marion, his partner, is one of the victims.
What is the killer’s motive: money, revenge? Or is he just a lone maniac?

But then he finds a project to occupy him when he falls for a small abandoned church. Monseigneur Poileaux is coming to the end of his term as head of the Priests of France, and Father Fromenger, back from China, tries to convince him to go and assist the Pope in Rome.

Noémie and Lucie have a plan: while Lucie spends the night with the jeweller, Noémie will rob her shop. But they don't account for the jeweller carefully setting the alarm.

The manager of a supermarket is refused membership of a club frequented by all the worthies in town. He fails to understand the reasons for his rejection. Is it because he's a shopkeeper, because of his Portuguese origins, because of his alchoholic mother?

The fact that he was only one vote away from becoming a member makes him all the keener to know why he's not allowed in.

Each three-minute film of this series is an alternative "making of", taking us behind the scenes that have marked the history of cinema. Each episode is about a particular cult movie, from all genres and eras. In this first season, we've chosen 20 films, from the black and white thriller Psycho to the blockbusters The Dark Knight Rises, Casino Royale to French comedies The Intouchables and Bienvenue chez les Ch’tis. We don’t see the stars but rather those who work in the shadows. Through them, you'll learn how one simple mistake can change the shooting and even the whole outcome of a film.

Do you know what the oldest marketed perfume is? Eau de Cologne.The story of Eau de Cologne takes us almost four centuries back in history, getting to the heart of the extraordinary legends that surround its creation, living with the grief of the inventors' families, and being there at the birth of commercial counterfeiting and advertising.

What pushed men and women to join the French Resistance in 1940?
Resistance is the testimony of members of the French Resistance, who explain why they joined, how their commitment first manifested itself, how it developed and what was the eventual outcome. Although they came from diverse backgrounds and experienced different situations, they all shared a refusal to accept the unacceptable; they all decided to react rather than bow down.
The film paints a clear picture of the French Resistance itself, while tackling the question of commitment to a cause in general. And it's a very powerful yet simple idea which emerges: no matter what our background might be, the person we become is the result of the choices we make, of the things we accept and the things we refuse.
Such testimony is also a way of transmitting ideas to the younger generation. As Raymond Aubrac says when addressing a group of students: "When you see something unjust happening, you have to react. You do whatever you can, but you have to react. »
