Les chroniqueurs racontent leurs PIRES souvenirs de vacances

The discussion revolves around disastrous vacation experiences, with various team members sharing their worst travel mishaps. The audience is invited to guess who experienced each unfortunate event. The first anecdote involves spending nights with cockroaches. Nasser confesses that this was his experience. He explains that he spent 35 years working in holiday clubs across four continents, which made finding personal vacation spots challenging. For his trip to Djerba, Tunisia in 2021, he asked a friend, Amid, to find him a hotel because options were limited due to high demand. Upon arrival, Nasser immediately realized the situation was dire. His friend had assured him he would be comfortable, but the room was tiny, and when he opened the wardrobe, it was full of cockroaches. Despite the horrific conditions, Nasser stayed for 15 days because he had paid in advance at a discounted "friend's price" of 60 euros for two people, all-inclusive. He learned never to visit Djerba in August due to the presence of algae and other issues. His partner remained with him, largely because he had previously taken her to much more luxurious destinations. The second story describes getting lost and ending up in a ghetto. Sophie reveals this was her ordeal. She recounts a trip to Miami with friends 20 years ago, where they decided to save money by not renting a GPS (TomTom, at the time) and instead printed out directions. However, they only printed the outbound route to a shopping mall, not the return. Consequently, they got lost and found themselves in a ghetto that Sophie likened to a scene from "The Walking Dead." She describes red-eyed figures that resembled zombies, causing them extreme fear. They barricaded themselves in the car and began arguing out of fright. Next, an account of being attacked by swans while saving a friend from drowning is shared. Isabelle confirms this was her adventure. She explains that she was by Lake Geneva, a large inland body of water fed by the Rhône river, which can become dangerous when the wind picks up. Her friend, who was on antidepressants and a poor swimmer, went into the water without warning. Isabelle, realizing a storm was approaching, reluctantly plunged in, despite disliking putting her head underwater. Her friend struggled and resisted, making the rescue difficult. After finally bringing her friend to shore, exhausted, people mistakenly thought her friend had saved her. It was then that they realized they were in a swan nesting area during breeding season. The swans, perceiving Isabelle as a threat, attacked her, with their beaks causing pain. Isabelle was upset when people started chasing the swans, as she felt it wasn't their fault. Although her friend was saved, they are no longer friends. The fourth mishap involves traveling to the other side of the world to meet a crush, only to be rejected. Maxime admits this was his painful experience. He explains that he fell in love during the filming of one of his prime-time shows, "Les Mandrakes d'Or," which features magicians from around the world. He met a Brazilian magician with whom he felt an immediate connection. After she returned to Brazil, they maintained a daily epistolary relationship for two months. Convinced of a deeper connection, Maxime decided to visit her in Brazil. He endured an 11-hour flight, only to be completely rejected upon arrival. He describes it as the "worst rejection of his life" and was left without a clear explanation, other than that she didn't want a long-distance relationship. He spent the remaining seven days of his trip alone in Rio de Janeiro, considering leaving early but deterred by the cost. He confirms he is currently single. The penultimate story details almost destroying a rental car. Sacha identifies himself as the one who experienced this. He recounts a trip to the Greek island of Kefalonia, known for its rocky, mountainous coastlines. He rented the cheapest, smallest car available. While driving on a steep incline, his car, in first gear, couldn't make it up the hill and started rolling backward towards a cliff. He had to use the handbrake to prevent falling into the sea. He was with his girlfriend at the time. The road was so treacherous that he nearly crashed the car and lost his life. A tire also burst due to the rocky terrain. He eventually found a secluded cove but had to pay for the tire replacement, though he was insured. Finally, the last two incidents are combined: losing luggage and spending a week in the bathroom. Michael reveals this was his disastrous vacation. He describes a trip to Punta Cana two years prior. The ordeal began with a five-hour delay on the tarmac at Roissy airport, followed by an eight-hour flight to the Dominican Republic. After the initial delay, they were told they would have to stay overnight in a hotel and depart the next morning. The next day, there was another hour-long delay, which an airline attendant insisted wasn't considered a "delay" in the airline industry. Upon finally arriving, they discovered one of their suitcases was lost—specifically, the one belonging to his wife and one of his sons. This led to three days of shopping to replace their belongings. However, the problems didn't end there. The hotel's water supply was contaminated with a bacteria, causing Michael and his entire family to fall ill for a week, experiencing digestive issues. He jokes about losing weight and money, noting that a large portion of the hotel guests also suffered from the same illness. The final anecdote about spending a week on a boat with people 50 years older is attributed to Francesca. The host recalls Sophie having previously shared a story about bed bugs, showing pictures of a severe allergic reaction that made her face appear "punched." She confirms she is still single. The conversation concludes with a lighthearted suggestion that perhaps Sophie and Maxime, both single, could find something between them on the show.
