France's Mythical Places is a 40-part, 26-minute documentary series about numerous historical villages in France, which are located in scenic areas and are also important for the country's cultural history.
The individual episodes are moderated by Emmanuel Laborde, who visits the village portrayed in each case and talks to some residents about the village in a conversational tone. Interlocutors are usually employees of local tourism authorities, tour guides and historians as well as residents presented as representative locals, e.g. representatives of a typical local trade or, if there are famous monasteries and churches, a clergyman or a nun. The synchronization of these conversations in the German version is carried out using voice-over technology. Another characteristic stylistic device of the program is the use of a drone or a remote-controlled model helicopter for filming.
