"Slow TV": France Télévisions has been broadcasting a three-week program since Monday... about the roar of the deer, filmed live 24/7.

Seven cameras have been broadcasting live, since Monday, September 8 at 6 p.m., the roar of the deer from Espace Rambouillet, in Yvelines.

The system, active 24 hours a day for three weeks, will be accessible free of charge on the france.tv platform , totaling 504 hours of broadcasting.

The project is part of the slow TV trend, a concept already popular in Scandinavia.

There is no staging planned: spectators will simply observe animal life in an area of ​​180 hectares, where the concentration of deer is ten to fifteen times higher than in a conventional forest.

The cameras were installed after consultation with the park's zoologists, in order to target the places where people pass through.

A clearing, used for night parades, and a pond, frequented by deer and does, are among the locations chosen.

To ensure audio capture, microphones will record forest sounds and animal cries.

“A need to slow down in the face of the urban pace”

Power is supplied by solar panels, a technical challenge according to David Grether, head of Viewsurf: "With sunlight, the power reaches 300 W, but in cloudy conditions, it can drop to 10."

The cameras will be automatically controlled, with the possibility of manual intervention in the event of particular activity.

Director Nicolas Sallé emphasizes the random nature of the operation: "You're never certain you'll see a deer roar, but observing the smallest detail is part of the experience."

The model is inspired by Nordic successes: in Norway, a filmed train journey has attracted millions of viewers since 2009; in Sweden, the moose migration attracts nearly nine million viewers every spring.

For researcher Barbara Laborde, these formats illustrate "a need to slow down in the face of the urban rhythm" .

The French project also aims to encourage the public to reconnect with real nature, beyond the screen.
