This tv show is the best educative program of all times on french TV.
Tout à fait d'accord! Hyper bien expliqué, jamy articule, les maquettes sont top et les explications ultras concises
was, unfortunately, such a loss...
Avec "Il était une fois la vie"
Tout à fait jamy!😂😂😂
@@shantyshin383 Not totally lost, jamy has a youtube channel. It's called "Jamy - épicurieux"
C'est pas sorcier was a Tv program initially made for the kids to explain simply and clearly with small models. Even as an adult I have learnt many things with it and you can show it to your kids with no worries. It was even shown by French science teachers to their students in high school
One of the my favourite programs. I have discovered a lot of science.
I am now physician.
Merci
Agreed! Hands down one of the best programs ever on French TV
Not just in high school 😅
When the two sides of the bridge met in the middle, the match was almost perfect , around 20 millimeters accuracy with all this distance and weight to manipulate. And they finished the work before the calendar limit, which is also incredible.
That's what we call "un chef d'œuvre", a masterpiece
3 years of construction... but 13 years of preliminary technical study !
I agree: I worked on Terrain modelling.
Yes, contruction : 2101-2004... But lots of work before 😮
@@jean-noelthomas Wow cool, that must have been really interesting 👍
@@jean-michelgaiffe3834 2101 ??? Sure ?
crochet = make a detour, bouchon = a cork of a bottle, which is also a traffic jam on the road in french
Your reactions are always nice and interresting :) Some corrections/explanations :
- At one point in the video you mistook "sommet" for "ciment" : the "little voice" said "sommet" = summit (the top of the pile) while you heard "ciment" = cement
- "Ciment" = cement / "Béton" = concrete
- Gustave EIFFEL built the Eiffel Tower around 1889. He's long dead but he founded a construction company by his own name that still exist and is, as a matter of fact, one of the best, state of the art construction company in France. The man you saw was an engineer.project director in this company ;)
- "C'est pas Sorcier" was a very famous educational TV show in France, talking about all kind of subjects (scientific, historical, geographical and so on). It means "it's not difficult to understand" (literally "it's not sorcery", as you guessed)
- YES, it's an americcan truck they are driving in the show ;) We usually don't build these models in Europe because we don't have as long distances to cross as in the USA or Australia (so the truckers need some confort but not a large cabin as in american trucks), plus many areas in Europe cannot accomodate such long and large trucks, even though a large portion of the roads they take are freeways, it's not alwways the case : the drivers often have to pass near small villages on smaller roads with narrower turns etc.
the style of trucks used in Europe also comes from regulation : the total length of the truck is limited, so if you use a tractor with a long nose, you have to use a shorter trailer, meaning less payload, meaning lower cost effectiveness
@@antoinebeaulieu2017
I love american truck. I remember an american film of Steven Spielberg " Duel" in french....
And Riffel became famous by building all metal bridges before being involved in the project of the all metal tower.
Béton = concrete ... Béton armé = reinforced concrete :) Béton = cement+sand+gravel... if you added metallic frame, then it's is reinforced concrete.
And at 13:18, the word wich was mistaken for "ciment" was actually "sommet" wich means summit.
Dude, 45 years in the United States to build the bridge, 1 year and a half just for the pilars in France... And finished in 3 years...
Okay, we only work 35 hours a week in France, but we are super efficient!
He's wrong about that. There are crazy projets in the US which are build rapidly. The tower replacing the twin towers was a specific case and political. Some people wanted a memorial without rebuilding a tower. Others wanted to qyickly rebuild a tower. That's why it took so long.. not easy to build something where 3000 peoples died
To have something like that build quickly, we authorised the builder to own the bridge and the tolls from it for 78 years.... starting from the beginning of the construction.
If they spent five years in construction, that's two years of tolls lost XD
@@nicolaslaine-soulier145 Thanks to many others who made it super efficient, like the Germans for the cranes, the Belgians for the engineering et the concept of the (tablier) construction.
Hi. Ce n’est pas sorcier=ce n’est pas compliqué😉
In German we have some similar saying: Es ist keine Magie (It is no(t) magic).
The best translation for the meaning of this is : it's not some kind of magic
👍@@hasturx1
@@tixien its not rocket science
@@dirkspatz3692I’m more familiar with the phrasing: “Das ist doch kein Hexenwerk”, though they don’t have the exact same meaning.
26:10 "directeur de projet Eiffel" - Eiffel today is a steel construction company - when creator Gustave Eiffel was alive in the 19th/early 20th century, it made the inner structure of the Statue of Liberty, truss bridges, train stations as well as the famous tower (which was a billboard for his skill 😁). It's a bit like if you see an interview with a Walt Disney executive and say "wait that can't be Walt Disney isn't he dead?"
Eiffel technically don't exist anymore it fusionned with other compagnies to create Eiffage. Which I find weird, imagine if Disney when the bought Pixar changed their names to Disnar XD
I suppose they made a mistake between Eiffel and Eiffage. You can see the Eiffage logo on the crane operator.
@getsowell Eiffel is a branch of Eiffage.
Oh man the nostalgia hit hearing the intro music, I loved this show as a kid, very educational, explaining a wide range of topics varying in complexity but always interesting, Jamie the guy in the truck doing most of the explanations has a UA-cam and instagram account basically continuing in the same line ("epicurieux" is the name of it)
Si ce qu'on voit sur les réseaux sociaux étaient aussi intelligent qu cette émission, on aurait énormément moins d'abrutis !
Mais ... ils sont drôles les abrutis ! Imaginez TikTok sans ces abrutis , ça deviendrai triste ! Une plateforme avec rien que des gens intelligents qui parle en bon français ! Bof !! Rendez-moi mes cons ! 😜
vraiment une réflexion de "vieux con". vous avez la mémoire sélective, a l'époque de cette épisode il y avait loft story a la tv... et rien n'empêchait de regarder les 2. aujourd'hui des émission de vulgarisation scientifique il y en a 100 fois plus....et elle sont bien plus regardé qu'a l'époque ou il n'y avait que 6 chaine de tv.
Et pour info , si dans vos reseaux sociaux vous ne voyez que des stupidité, c'est que l'algorithme vous a bien cerné.
@@EgnoRongE pour certains, il faudrait aussi des émissions sur l'orthographe !
@@EgnoRongE c'est pas sorcier ça a été diffusé de 1993 à 2014.
Loft story ça date de 2001, et à l'époque, les seules émissions de télé réalité qu'on avait c'était le loft et la Star academy.
Pas faux 😅
La meilleure émission ludique de la télé française
vrais . et souvenir de mon enfance ces émission comme pour beaucoup de francais
C'est pas sorcier it'a an expression, means it's not rocket science. Frédéric Courant, Sabine Quindou et Jamy Gourmaud , Marcel the Truckdriver and "la petite voie" we never see them . Fred went to the field, Sabine asked a whole bunch of questions and Jamy explained everything with models and demonstrations.It's a show that I enjoy watching and rewatching, you never get tired of it, it's educational and fun, it's for all ages from 7 to 77 (it's a French expression "de 7 à 77 ans")
C'est pas sorcier est aussi une façon de dire c'est pas compliqué dans le langage actuel. Mais effectivement, littéralement, c'est : c'est pas de la magie, ça s'explique.
But Marcel the truckdriver was a fictionnal character, not a real person.
And the real name of "la petite voix" is Valérie Dray-Guerlain (she was also the voiceover of Disney channel in France).
"la petite voiX" 'the little voice'
Le viaduc de milliau est un magnifique pont , pour l’émission ils ont choisi un magnifique camion américain, nous adorons énormément les véhicules américains mais ils ne sont pas adapté à nos routes pour une utilisation journalière, nous avons beaucoup d’expression française qui ne sont pas facile à comprendre pour les non français, merci de partager nos émissions et culture sur l’internet, merci . J’adore !😊
En fait, le camion n'est que dans le générique.
Jamy faisait ses explications avec ses maquettes dans un studio.
D'ailleurs Marcel, le chauffeur du camion de l'émission n'existe pas.
Most kids from my generation were watching that show the moment we were back from school. Oh the memories...
Le viaduc de Millau was open to traffic in December 2004. So it took broadly 3 years to build it.
Your French is sometimes better than what I hear in my own country !
C'est bien vrai malheureusement
Salut ! Super émission ! J'habite juste à côté du viaduc ! Il est magnifique
c'est pas sorcier means "c'est pas compliqué" "that's not difficult"
"Béton" means concrete
"Ciment" means Cement
"Sommet" means the top of the pilar, the apex.
"Bitume" is Asphalt
About the american truck, c'est fait exprès, comme la musique du générique qui fait très rock US.
"Eiffel" is now a company (and there's also some "sub companies" like Eiffage, i worked for them a decade ago)
Le viaduc à pris un peu moins de 3 ans pour être achevé.
Every French people know C'est pas Sorcier, it means It's not sorcery (like it's not hard to understand or a thing like that), it's my whole childhood, every time I'm hearing the intro music, I get emotional
"C'est pas sorcier", cette émission est le meilleur programme télévisé du MONDE ! (change my mind !) Toute ma jeunesse.
It's this TV show that gave me the will to become a scientist ❤ best french science show ever 😊
I use it at least 8 times every summer hollidays ! Very impressive !
The construction of the bridge Octobre 2001 - Décembre 2004
C'était super cette émission jamais barbant dommage qu'elle n'existe plus
As someone living close to this bridge I must recomand something to all people passing by: when you go south just drive on the bridge as you must do it at least once.
But when you come back, take the millau exit just before the bridge. You will not only save money but you will also see the best view of the valley and the bridge when you drive down to millau from the larzac. And there are no more "bouchons" anymore.
C'est magnifique de le voir apparaître et de le traverser.
Hi guys, it takes 3 years to be finished, Eiffel is the compagny founded by Gustave Eiffel known at beginning to make bridges. So directeur de projet Eiffel is "project directory from the Eiffel compagny". The bridge is guaranted up to 120 years. It cost 14 euros/dollars to cross for a car. Ah , and béton is made from ciment. Thank you for this vidéo
Meilleure émission de France ^^
When I was young, I love watch this TV show with my brothers. I love learn thing and the presentation of the show. It was very good explain for kids. An another show was excellent for kids, "Il était une fois la vie". A masterpiece.
"C'est pas sorcier" is on of the best French Educative TV show. I grew up with this show. I think "c'est pas sorcier" was Broadcasted during15 years (i didn't check).
C'est pas sorcier. The best program ever!
C’est pas sorcier literally translate to "It’s not wizardry" but it means basically that something is simpler than it looks.
Also this show is like a massive part of most kids from the 00’s and even today is praised as one of the best educational show you can get
The advantage of this bridge is that it has made the village of Millau famous, and many people stop there when they travel, to see this viaduct. Excellent for the local economy. I have taken it several times, but I have often stopped there to appreciate it, and bathe at the foot of this bridge.
The foundation stone was laid on December 14, 2001, and the viaduct was opened to traffic on December 16, 2004, just three years after work began, several weeks ahead of schedule.
Groupe Eiffage is indeed the descendant construction company of Eiffel which made Eiffel tower in the late 19th century (and many others brigdes)
I'm French i remeber primary school when teachers showed us this TV show to learn and that we had to do a work on it.
Primary school, middle school, I think I even saw a couple of episodes in high school XD
The bridge was issued a month before the date, and in the contract, it was noted that the fine was 30 000 € (35 000 $) every late day. And the investment was fully amortized in approximately 3 years :) I have passed 3 times on this bridge, we pay the toll for the highway globally and there's not specific toll anymore ;) The money it is doing, serves now to the refection of the road and the maintenance of the bridge too.
Really interesting video !
Mortier=sable +ciment, béton =gravier +sable +ciment Respect Monsieur
sans oublier souvent des adjuvants , genre anti gel , plastifiant , accélérant de prise , colorant on a maintenant des bétons auto nivelant , ils se mettent de niveau seul , sans qu'un humain est besoin de faire quoi que ce soit ! on peut même remplacer le ferraillage par des fibres synthétiques qu'on rajoute dans le béton , pour interdire la rouille , il existe des " fers à béton " en matériaux synthétiques , ceux là ne pourront jamais rouillés !!
Je me rend compte que même avec les maquette "simple", même un non francophone peux comprendre les explications de Jamy.
Une émission culte en France, tous les plus de trente ans l'ont vu.
Même ceux de 20 ans. C'est pas sorcier a été à l'antenne de 1993 à 2014.
J’ai 18 ans et je l’ai vu aussi en SVT , c’était toujours fun ❤ , la nouvelle version l’est beaucoup moins..
I was working for a german truck company, we delivered the drainage (6m long pipes) to the construction site at the time. Once i had the possibility to deliver myself and it was such an amazing place with an incredible view..
Love your vidéos and love this one as well !
A little help for your french learning journey, god sir ! (In the order of the video)
• "C'est pas sorcier" means litteraly "that's not (some sort of) sorcery", but the real meaning is "it's not that difficult". It was a TV learning show fo kids in the 90's 2010's. It talked about a lot of things, culture, food, body, technology, etc.
• Les "crochets" et les "bouchons" liktteraly means "hooks" and "caps". In traffic, and travels, "crchets/hooks" means that you take a detour on your otherwise straigth route, and "bouchons/caps" means a cluster on the route. When you hear someone say that "une route ou un quartier est bouchonné.e" it's that it's clustered and so, slowed
• "Béton" is "concrete"
• "Creuse" is the feminine version of "creux" which both mean "hollow" as you guessed
• "Sommet" is the highest point of something. The "sommet" of a tree, a castle, a mountain, or even "le sommet de la tête" le highest point of the head
• "Bitume" is "bitumen" according to google translate
My entire generation jave grown up with this at home, and even when it stopped, teachers at highschools showed us episodes when we got time
American trucks like this are actually forbidden in France due to their size and due to the roads network. The roads are made for trucks not exceeding a certain ability to turn the wheels.
In fact this american truck is the one from the TV show, not from the construction site.
pourtant on en croise parfois sur les routes fr , peut-être pour les convois exceptionnels.
They're not forbidden, it's just that if your truck is limited to 25 meters, and you add 1 meter just for the engine, that means you have 1 meter less for your load.
So most compagnies buy shorter trucks to be able to load more.
Sacré chantier quand même.😳
Ces journées en primaire où on nous passait des « C’est pas sorcier » au lieu des cours ! Meilleurs moments ❤
J’ai jamais aussi bien appris qu’avec Jamy 😊
"C'est pas sorcier" is a French expression meaning "it's not difficult".
The TV show diffused science popularisation.
in France, we also have 2 guys that work for 19 that do nothing ^^. But for that kind of big job, people are a little more serious ^^
"bouchons" is a word used when the traffic is too dense the cars stopped and provoke a long slow queue
"crochets" is serpentine little roads in mountains
"béton" is concrete
"ciment" is cement
Amazing reaction ! Very funny and impressed by your French understanding Thank you
C’est vraiment un exploit !
We have a family house in the Cévennes at 40 kilometers away, this viaduct is HUGE, especially when you are at the bottom of the valley. The word you did not understand at 13:24 is « sommet » wich means summit, béton = concrete, ciment = cement, bitume = bitumen. I am impressed by your level in french, I would like to have the same in english.
They use this truck just because it's beautiful✨. No other reason
The time constraint was also very strong for the engineers of the Effeil company (yes the company of Gustave Effeil who built the tower in 1889) the construction site started in October 2001 and it was finished in December 2004 with more than 2 months ahead of schedule (it must be said that a late penalty of 180,000 Euros was planned for each day of delay). The bridge paid for itself in less than 3 years despite a cost of 400 million Euros.
Pour les petits et les grands!
While that TV show is intended for young people, I still have great pleasure looking at it as a grown-up, an even learned something new today, which is the best.
We miss so much this program! It was so good!
Thank you. I really like the voice of "la petite voix" 🙏
An American who broadly understands French. There is hope for humanity yet😂
I love this kind of show, even if, as the years go by, we no longer have the same curiosity about things. I still kept my collection of "Junior Woodchucks Guidebooks"😅.
I have never seen this bridge which is only about a hundred kilometers from my home but I crossed it, virtually, while playing the video game "Euro Truck Simulator 2" and it's already quite impressive😶.
13:15
She said "les bennes sont récupérées au sol par la grue qui les hissent jusqu'au SOMMET" :)
Translate : the skips are picked up from the ground by the crane and hoisted up to the SUMMIT
She Said SOMMET for the top of pillar (his summit)
Cement (ciment) and concrete (béton) are not the same thing
Cement is the basic binder. Mortar is a mixture of cement with sand and other components. Concrete, on the other hand, is a mixture of cement, sand and gravel.
Bitume is Asphalt
Best show France 3 ever made !
France 3 ? du monde ouais ! 🤣
At the start of the show, in french it's taking a long weekend or not working between a public holiday and a day of rest. and just after Jamy says "Go à Millau", Millau is a city near the bridge. This is wordplays (pun)
"Go à Millau"(go to Millau)>"Gault&Millau" is a gastronomic guide and "Faire le pont" > "Construire un pont" (built a bridge)
11 to 13€ for a car, 46€ for a very large truck. So the price for cars doubled in 20 years
Bonjour.
Faire le pont signifie aussi prendre un long weekend.
Exemple :
On ne travaille pas le samedi et le dimanche en France.
Si le jeudi est un 14 juillet c'est un jour où l'on ne travaille pas car c'est la fête nationale française.
Vous pouvez faire le pont si vous posez une journée de repos le vendredi 13, vous avez 4 jours de repos consécutifs. Vous faites le pont.
Ne serait-ce pas un vendredi 15 ici dans votre exemple?
Ou peut être ai-je mal compris
@@rorosopo oui. Vous avez raison. C'est une grossière erreur de ma part. C'est bien un vendredi 15.
Au temps pour moi.
Merci pour la correction.
Cordialement
@@stephanevilboux1706 pas de soucis, tout le monde fait des erreurs
"Go! à Millau!" Celle là c'est limite une private joke, même pour beaucoup de français.
Vous pouvez utiliser les sous-titres avec traduction anglaise automatique, ce n'est pas idéal mais j'ai pu voir que ça traduit correctement "crochet" et "bouchon" par "detour" et "traffic jam" en tenant compte du contexte.
Current Millau viaduct toll price for a car : 14€ (from june 15 to spetember 15), 11€ otherwise.
Construction time : 3 years.
La construction a débuté le 14 décembre 2001 et a duré trois ans.
Le Viaduc de Millau a été inauguré le 14 décembre 2004.
Le pont de Millau était pour une fois une construction nécessaire
La petite route qui permettait de traverser la vallée était dangereuse et l'été embouteillée ! Je me souviens d'avoir vu mon père perdre littéralement son calme parce qu'on avançait comme des escargots le long de cette route
Le pont a désengorgé la Vallée
C'est triste qu'ils aient arrête cette émission de vulgarisation de la science, avec "Il était une fois..." ca rendait la science compréhensible
Vous devriez regarder d'autres vidéos il y en a sur plein de sujet !!!
It doesn’t matter how loud I’m screaming, you can’t hear me shout “béton = concrete” for some reason 😂
The educational show of my childhood. We discovered so many things with Fred and Jamy ❤❤❤
I grew up watching these kind of documentaries.
I am am engineer now.
(It used to follow on some show about French cuisine, called la cuisine des mousquetaires." During the 90ies.)
A lot of interesting French expressions in this show for you! "Faire le pont" is when you take a vacation day on either the day before or after a bank holiday that falls on a Thursday or Tuesday, creating a full four-day weekend. "C'est pas sorcier" means "it's quite simple." It's an expression that basically means there is a rational or scientific explanation for an event or thing.
That bridge is something to behold. It's terrifyingly high.
Cette émission fait partie de mon enfance ❤
C'est pas sorcier means it's easy to understand. Even as an adult and even if I know a lot on many subjects they spoke about, I always watch this program with a lot of pleasure
béton= concrete=small gravel water and cement thah can be framed=béton armé
ciment=cement=rocky glue
Oh, I've just caught this one, years after I watched this episode for the first time!
"Go!" "À Millau!" Is a reference to the Gault&Millau guide, an equivalent to the Michelin guide!
I know a guy who reached 450km/h on a turbo Suzuki Hayabusa bike on this bridge few years ago
The best educative show for kids
I used to watch this show everyday back then ^^
An American truck means "powerful", "free minded" and rockn'roll as the music ! A youth symbol in the 80's of the 20th century.
Built in 3 years and 2 months.
Hi D !
This episode of C'est pas Sorcier ! (that roughly means the same as "It's not rocket science !") bring back a lot of memory from my childhood. Back in days, my parents used to go on holidays, with me and my lil' sis', in a small village narby Montpellier. Until the Millau bridge was finished we had to pass by the town of Millau and at the begining of July, the traffic jam (at this time there was only one main road crossing Millau) was so important that it could take up to two hours from the entrance to the exit.
To not being annoyed with excited childs, so many parents were dropping off their childs at the entrance of the town, let them play with others in the park that's nearby the exit of the town (by the water, if I remember well), and honk them when their car is nearby the exit, so childs can hop up onboard.
If you ever meet a French millenial with a passion for sciences, those guys are the reason.
BTW "C'est pas sorcier !" is a French idiom that can pretty much be translated as "It's not rocket science!", though that show has obviously had it's share of episode about actual rockets!
(Literally it means 'it's no sorcery')
Millau bridge was build bye Effeifage. At the samedi time, Vinci build the Rion Anterion bridge in Grece witch face differents challenges but is also a great technical construction.
Those guys are science education in France.
When a teacher did no feel like doing a regular lesson, that's what they would show the class.
C'est pas sorcier it's a huge iconic tv program during the 90's-2000's
Crochets in a road context means "take a detour" and bouchons means "road jams" i think. Béton means "cement", but like, in block. We say Ciment for the liquid cement.
J'ai la collection complète C'est Pas Sorcier ! Tellement irremplaçable 😍
Je m'abonne 😅
4:05
when we say "hook" we are talking about a bend, a deviation of the initial road.
when we say "cork" it's an expression to say that on the road things are not moving forward because of too many cars (highway traffic jam)
The programme used to run every week - and each time the presenter, Jamy Gourmaud, would bring new models in the studio / pretend truck- always naively made of cardboard and plastic toys, painted simply in bright colours and easy to imagine you'd do that again with lego and a shoebox. New ones every week 7on totally different subjects for more than 20 years!
Le béton c'est du ciment avec des petits cailloux dedans 😉
I drive thru Millau just one year before the bridge opening. 4:hours of traffic jump, a nigthmare
For the crochet/bouchon thing, faire un crochet is taking an alternative route (so it would look like a hook instead of a straight line), and a bouchon, literally a cork, means a traffic jam (can also be called embouteillage. Yes, like a bottle)
This program was done for the public television … and stopped when the government tried to have the public tv like a commercial tv….
c'est pas sorcier is a french expression that you can translate to, like you said, it's not wizardry, meaning it's something not complicated (like anyone can do it, it's not something magic, or not rocket science)
C'est pas sorcier = It's not rocket science
Le sommet is a top
C'est pas sorcier. Une expression Française. Ce n'est pas compliqué...😅
❤❤❤
Plusieurs fois que je regarde tes vidéos. Je me vois surpris que des américains soient étonné de nos vidéos Française. Moi,qui voyait l'Amérique comme cela 😮😮😮
And in france we look china and say: Wow they are fast xD
