On June 26, 2025, French television network M6 launched a new game show titled 'J’en connais un rayon', hosted by the popular Julien Courbet. The format of the show combines elements of a quiz and consumer education, inviting participants to test their knowledge about consumer rights and purchasing power. Participants have the exciting chance to win up to 20 years of free groceries by answering questions correctly throughout the interactive quiz.
The inaugural episode featured 50 participants, including well-known celebrities such as Élodie Gossuin, Gwendal Marimoutou, and Caroline Margeridon, who joined the fun while also aiming to educate the public on important consumer rights issues. As the show progressed, contestants faced elimination for incorrect answers, ultimately leading to a final quiz to crown the winner.
The questions covered a range of consumer topics, revealing surprising insights that captivated both the audience and participants. Notably, the show clarified the legal obligations of service providers, including that taxi drivers must provide functional card payment terminals and cannot insist on cash payments—failing to do so could result in a fine. Additionally, it was disclosed that while hairdressers have a duty to perform their work with care, they can still charge for their services even if a mistake is made. In a particularly curious point, the show noted that restaurants and hotels are not legally required to offer free water to customers who have not made any purchases, even during extreme weather conditions like a heatwave.
By presenting these insights, 'J’en connais un rayon' aims to empower viewers by informing them about their rights as consumers, which could help them save money and assert those rights confidently in various shopping scenarios. The series is expected to continue its mission of consumer education while entertaining a broad audience, making it a timely addition to French television.
