THE TERROIRS OF GUEULETON, AN AUTHENTIQUE SUCCESS

Epicureans, lovers of good wines and food, Vincent and Arthur have the project of an online sales site for locally produced products, then another idea germinated and the Gueuleton brand was born. In five years, they opened ten “Gueuleton” wine bars and also went out to meet producers, winegrowers, hunters, fishermen, all epicureans like them. Their videos make a big buzz with each publication on their YouTube channel and their Facebook page, and each reach several million views. From Lot et Garonne to Gers, via Béarn, Médoc and Brittany, let yourself be tempted for a getaway full of fine food and wine and generosity.

Small game, King of the plain of Versailles

It is the end of the hunting season on the plain of Versailles, and the team of hunters from l'Oisemont is already hard at work to maintain the beautiful population of gray partridges which have made the reputation of their territory. Planning, regulations, maintenance and above all close collaboration with local farmers: much effort is demanded of these men. They are very proud of their success as they prepare the next season’s opening.

The Breton grand slam

The north of Brittany, and especially the department of Côtes d´Armor, is historically a fly-fishing region. Fishing for salmonids in rivers has been practiced here for more than a century, but more recently the tracking of pike in ponds or lakes has extended the playground of Breton fly-fishers. Given the proximity of the fishing spots, Eric HAMON, a fishing guide and a small group of Breton sport fishermen have invented a new fishing challenge: the Breton grand slam.

Fly fishing haute couture

While the fly fishing market is flooded with Asian and American products, in France there still exists a small group of professionals and enthusiasts who, like French haute couture, perpetuate and develop a remarkable know-how. Whether it is fishing rods, natural bristles, reels or simply new artificial flies, French manufacturers are constantly innovating and making exceptional products.

The zebu and the conquest of the desert (India, Brazil, Switzerland, Ethiopia)

A slender body surmounted by a fatty bump, loose skin and floppy ears: the Zebu is an animal adapted to extreme heat. Humans knew how to tame its wild ancestor to transform him into a long-term companion cut out for great migrations. Set off alongside us to explore arid lands around the world, the zebu show us that its adaptability is almost limitless.

Science in motion

In Science in Motion, we meet the researchers who are struggling with the biggest challenges facing humanity. How do we make AI and humans thrive side by side? How do we conquer infection and dementia? How do we develop new antibiotics and clean energy? How do we save our forests and arctic regions on a hotter earth? Researchers on the verge of major breakthroughs lay out the road towards a better world. Always in motion. Always with science.

The threat against antibiotics

We’ve become accustomed to a life in which healthcare saves us. Much of this is thanks to one single kind of drug - antibiotics. Now, that has changed. You have probably heard of antibiotic resistance – that antibiotics no longer work on the constantly mutating strains of bacteria. This is why bacteria is, once again, threatening our way of life. Although the situation can look pretty dim, new solutions are under way. Here we meet the researchers who are developing new smart ways to defeat the bad bacteria.

The fight against infection

You live under a constant threat of intruders. You can’t see them - because they are extremely small. They are the microorganisms that fill the air you breathe and the water you drink. Bacteria, viruses and parasites. And these intruders have developed many successful methods for deceiving your defenses. But scientists are now making ground breaking discoveries that can help to defend our bodies. With the latest DNA technology, the most advanced microscopes and the fastest supercomputers, researchers are determined to stop the microorganisms causing influenza, tuberculosis and meningitis.

Mapping the arctic climate change

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges mankind has ever faced. One thing is for sure - that world of tomorrow, will look different from today. But what is really happening right now, and how will climate change affect our earth in the future? We meet the scientists who are mapping climate change. They travel to the North Pole, South Africa and northern Scandinavia in search for answers. As the earth warms up, the North and South Pole warms up even faster. The future for our climate is critical. To know what to do, we need to know what is happening.

Fighting dementia

Your brain is a miracle.100 billion nerve cells control everything that happens in your body. But your brain is also susceptible to diseases that can kill these nerve cells - neurodegenerative diseases like dementia. We live in a time when science has helped us conquer many diseases and our modern way of life enables us to live longer. But none of this matters when it comes to dementia - our bodies can be sustained - but our brains are not. Today, more elderly people die of dementia than cancer. So, what can we do to stop this? What can science come up with so that we can be one hundred years old, and still be healthy in both body and mind? Meet the researchers that are hard at work, to help your brains future.

Finding clean energy

All life on earth is dependent on energy. The sun, our energy source, has been warming our world from the very beginning. Plants, animals and humans depend on this life-giving light and heat. But then, something happened. Man discovered other sources of energy – coal, oil, gas and atomic power. But our insatiable hunger for energy has thrown our environment of balance, a disruption that now threatens life on earth. We need to find new, cleaner energy sources. Here we meet the scientists who want to solve our planet’s great challenge. Their research is about specially designed molecules, completely unique nanomaterials, re-creating photosynthesis and new smart solar cells. The obvious first choice in the hunt for energy is to look to our original source - the sun itself.
