The broadcast of the daily soap of the Deux will temporarily stop on Monday. Just like the filming in Montpellier.

A final episode broadcast exceptionally on Saturday at 8.45pm, before an indefinite break. According to our information, France 2 has taken the decision to stop broadcasting its daily soap "Un si grand soleil", from this Monday. Same choice for filming in Montpellier and its region, one of the homes most affected by coronavirus currently. These unprecedented measures were also taken to comply with one of Prime Minister Édouard Philippe's announcements this Friday: no gathering of more than 100 people.

At the same time, France 2 intends to extend its news, including the 8 pm by Anne-Sophie Lapix "in order to give a full account of the Covid-19 crisis", with an interactive section with viewers.
