Père Fouras

The Père Fouras has been the major opponent of the television show Fort Boyard since 1991. He is the guardian of the fort an unknown number of years, although he was born in 1815 on the Island of Aix.

1990 to 2000
From 1990 to 2010, he welcomes the candidates to the summit of the Fort and it is always with a touch of humour that he poses his famous enigmas. Under his command from 1990 to 2009, Passe-Temps, measures time.

2010
Father Fouras manages alone and finds himself with two candidates in a duel against him, ready to fight intellectually to find the solution to the enigma.==

2011
He leaves his watchtower to live in his den, a dark library. He decides the tests that the candidates will face, by transmitting a scroll to the team via Passe-Muraille, the messenger.

He now poses visual enigmas in duplex with the candidates who are in the interactive cell. But he can also call a candidate, thanks to the abandoned Cabin to ask his traditional enigmas. In addition, he presides over the Council and closely watches over the Masters of Darkness.

2012
He keeps an identical role but he also appears in Gagarin's new test to ask an enigma. At the Council, which he still presides with success and humour, he now poses a recurring enigma, as at the time of his enigma on watch.

2013
He recruited Willy Rovelli as the fort cook.

Trivia

 * Father Fouras' name is inspired by the Fouras beach on the Charente-Maritime coast where Fort Boyard can be seen from there.
