THE WONDERS OF EUROPE
WITH HUGH BONNEVILLE
Here is something interesting for you period set drama lovers: Hugh Bonneville will narrate Studiocanal's new four part documentary series THE WONDERS OF EUROPE (L’Europe des Merveilles) taking the viewers on a grand tour of the architectural landmarks of Europe in the international version of the French programme. As 'Variety' reports, this new high-end docu-series focusing on European cultural heritage and architecture was unveiled at Unifrance Rendez-Vous in Biarritz, the international market entirely dedicated to French TV programs.
THE WONDERS OF EUROPE
is
enhanced by French composer Cascadeur’s original music and, for the
international version, Bonneville’s narration. The first season reveals
the story of the people who built four European wonders, the Palace of
Versailles, and the temples of the Acropolis, but also the Louvre in
Paris, and the Alhambra in Granada. Watching the Acropolis being built
before your very eyes or Versailles being enlarged by order of Louis XIV
to become one of the most beautiful palaces in the world with its
73-meter long Hall of Mirrors and sumptuous gardens are just a couple of
the time travel trips that the show takes you on. Currently in the
making, season two will also include four parts: two on monuments in
France and probably one each in Germany and Italy. A third season is
already under discussion.
What a cool concept! I'd go out of my way to see this.
