Secrets d'Histoire is a historical television program presented by Stéphane Bern.

Journalist and producer Jean-Louis Remilleux came up with the original idea for the program.
History
[edit]A tricky start (2007-2011)
[edit]Secrets d'Histoire was broadcast for the first time on France 2 on September 30, 2007.[1]
At the time of the show's launch, the channel indicated that its aim was to introduce viewers to famous historical figures, but also to decipher some of history's unexplained, and sometimes inexplicable, mysteries.[1]
The first issue is devoted to the death of Emperor Napoleon I, and the theories that have circulated concerning his possible poisoning.[1]
For the first two seasons, the program was broadcast on Sunday afternoons on France 2.[2] Each issue featured a variety of reports, interspersed with on-stage debates with various specialists, including historians, writers, and researchers.[1]
In July 2008, the channel's management decided to discontinue the show. Stéphane Bern stated at the time that he had denounced "France Télévisions' lack of editorial audacity when it came to culture and heritage". Thanks to good ratings and "the mobilization of viewers on the France 2 website", the show continued throughout the summer of 2008. During this period, four new hour-and-a-half episodes were broadcast in the first half of the evening.[3]
In September 2008, however, the program was dropped from the schedule to make way for L'Objet du scandale, presented by Guillaume Durand.[4] In 2009 and 2010, the show returned to the broadcast schedule, but only in August for a few hour-and-a-half episodes in the first half of the evening.
In the summer of 2011, France 2 broadcast seven new episodes in the first half of the evening. In the same year, the show's editorial line evolved: "This season, we've taken a new turn with the issue devoted to Claude Monet, which will be broadcast on August 30. I'm also thinking of devoting one to Victor Hugo. In short, Secrets d'Histoire will open up to artists whose dimension is not only cultural," explains Stéphane Bern.[5]
At the same time, the show's audience has grown from an average of three million viewers in 2008 to 3.6 million in summer 2011.[6]
Increasing success (2012-2018)
[edit]
In the summer of 2012, France 2 broadcast ten new episodes in the first half of the evening, several of which met with notable success. The episode devoted to Louis XIV, entitled Louis XIV, les passions du Roi Soleil (Louis XIV, the passions of the Sun King), set a new audience record, with nearly five million viewers and a 21.2% audience share. This was the best audience in the show's history.[7]
From 2014 onwards, the show was broadcast more randomly and on varying days of the week (either Tuesdays or Thursdays). In an interview with Le Figaro, Stéphane Bern explains that he was unhappy at the time, regretting that the show acted as a "filler" on France 2.[8]
Despite random broadcasts, the show has met with growing success, including abroad. Interviewed on the occasion of the eleventh season in 2017, Stéphane Bern said: "The main thing that's changed is that people abroad are starting to get to know Secrets d'Histoire better. We've been approached by the Swedes, for example." According to him, this new notoriety had "opened doors" for the show.[9]
In the same year, the film extracts were removed and replaced by scenes of historical re-enactments with actors, filmed especially for the show. The actors were dressed in period costumes, but did not speak any of the text, with commentary provided by historians Stéphane Bern and Isabelle Benhadj.[10]
The decision to shoot re-enactment sequences was due to the refusal of some directors, such as Luc Besson with his film Jeanne d'Arc (The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc), to have their films cut in the editing process, but also because the production of Secrets d'Histoire sometimes needed scenes that didn't exist in the films.[11]
According to the show's producer, Jean-Louis Remilleux, the issue of broadcasting rights also led the production team to opt for re-enactments. In fact, even if reenactment scenes cost significantly more than scenes from films or TV movies (10,000 euros for a reenactment compared with 4,000 to 6,000 euros for a film), this avoids the production having to pay rights again if the episodes are rebroadcast.[11]
In June 2018, a party was organized at the Château de Versailles to celebrate the show's tenth anniversary. On this occasion, patrons of the château were invited, as well as viewers who had registered on the show's Facebook page. "Ten years ago, we were told that a history show was just for old ladies doing macramé in Southern Brittany. The network didn't believe in Stéphane either. And have you seen our ratings?" enthuses the show's producer Jean-Louis Remilleux.[12]
In August 2019, the show was mourned by the death of writer and columnist Michel de Decker, who had collaborated on numerous issues. On hearing of his death, Stéphane Bern paid tribute to him: "I owe him a lot, and the show owes him a lot. He made the show great for over ten years. He was very attached to the show."[13][14]
New life on France 3 (since 2019)
[edit]In October 2019, the show was switched to the France 3 channel.[15] This choice is explained by the France Télévisions group's desire to maintain editorial consistency between its two channels, France 2 and France 3. As France 3 focuses on promoting France's heritage and regions, through programs such as Le Village préféré des Français (French Favourite Village) and Des racines et des ailes (Roots and wings), France Télévisions management decided to broadcast the program Secrets d'Histoire on this channel.[16]
In an interview with Le Parisien, France Télévisions' second-in-command, Takis Candilis, said that the group wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to offer viewers "more prime-time episodes", without specifying whether these would be new or reruns.[17]
From October 2019, the show was broadcast regularly on Monday evenings on France 3, a choice that satisfied Stéphane Bern, for whom it was important for the program to have a fixed weekday slot.[18]
Since its broadcast on France 3, the show has recorded encouraging audience figures. The first three episodes broadcast from October 2019 averaged 2.4 million viewers (10.5% market share). Following these good results, the Secrets d'Histoire team has indicated that nine further issues have been commissioned for 2020, with a budget of 400,000 euros for each program.[19]
In 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic and health measures taken by various European countries disrupted the filming of certain programs. As a result, some shoots scheduled outside France were either cancelled or entrusted to local crews. This was the case for the program dedicated to Mary of Burgundy, part of which took place at the Château de Grandson in Switzerland. As museum curator Camille Verdier explains it was a local team that took charge of filming at the castle: "We were contacted and everything fell into place very quickly. Because of the confinement and border closures, a team from Geneva took care of the shooting, in the presence of the director".[20]
The filming of a program on Napoleon I, to mark the bicentenary of his death, was also disrupted. "We were supposed to do all the sets on St. Helena, but we would have had to endure a quarantine on location. So we shot at Fontainebleau and Les Invalides," explains Stéphane Bern.[21]
The same year saw the launch of a spin-off of the show, based on the same principle and devoted to famous places: Si les murs pouvaient parler (If the walls could talk), on France 2.[22]
On January 25, 2021, the show announced the launch on March 8 of secretsdhistoire.tv, a pay-per-view video platform on the Internet, allowing viewers to watch all issues of Secrets d'Histoire,[23] as well as other types of programs related to history and heritage. In an interview with La Nouvelle République newspaper, platform manager Baptiste Mathon explains:
All 150 episodes of Secrets d'Histoire will be featured, as well as previously unpublished documents and new multidisciplinary programs. History will be told through the prism of sports, cooking, make-up, fashion, decoration, gardening... [...] All interviews with historians will be available to subscribers worldwide. It's the same way Netflix works.[23]
From January 2023 onwards, the show was moved from Monday to Wednesday evenings, where it is regularly broadcast.[24]
Program description
[edit]Choice of topics
[edit]In an interview with Télérama in October 2019, Stéphane Bern explained how the subjects for the various programs were chosen: "We have lists with my producer Jean-Louis Remilleux, and after that, we go and see France Télévisions' cultural programs department. [...]" he explains.[25]
One important criterion is the possibility of taking viewers on a tour of French heritage sites. He explains:
We make lists of subjects, always bearing in mind that it has to have an impact on: What heritage site can we show the French? [...] For me, this is a requirement, because I believe that there is a geography of History. History can only be told properly in the places where it took place. With young people, that's what moves them the most. [...] It really makes history more accessible.[25][26]
Another criterion is the commemoration of important anniversaries, such as the centenary of the birth or death of a historical figure. In 2015, to mark the tricentenary of the death of Louis XIV, the program aired two consecutive issues on the reign of the "Sun King". The first, Louis XIV, l'homme et le roi (Louis XIV, the man and the king), retraced the monarch's childhood, his seizure of power and his conception of absolute monarchy. The second, Louis XIV, le roi est mort, vive le roi! (Louis XIV, the king is dead, long live the king!) focuses on the end of the monarch's life, and the various deaths that created problems for the succession to the French throne.[27] In 2020, to mark the 250th anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven's birth, the show devoted a special edition to him, entitled Beethoven, tout pour la musique (Beethoven, all for the music).[28]

The existence of temporary exhibitions in certain museums is also an opportunity for the show to highlight certain characters. For example, during an exhibition on the Tudors at the Musée du Luxembourg in 2015,[29] the show aired an issue devoted to Queen Elizabeth I of England.[30] In 2019, on the occasion of the exhibition Tutankhamun, the Pharaoh's Treasure held at the Grande halle de la Villette in Paris,[31] an issue on Tutankhamun and Ramesses II was broadcast.[32]
During a shoot at Souvigny in 2018, Stéphane Bern confirmed the existence of these criteria:
The selection is made on the basis of interest and historical interest. Depending on the year, there are anniversaries. Right now, there's an exhibition on Louis-Philippe. We thought it only natural to do a show about Louis-Philippe. We also celebrated Saint-Louis' birthday and Josephine's bicentenary.[33]
History of topics covered
[edit]The majority of programs feature a portrait of a historical figure. Some programs are devoted to well-known figures such as Louis XIV, François I, or Napoleon I, while others are devoted to lesser-known figures such as Thérèse de Lisieux or certain female figures of the French Revolution like Olympe de Gouges and Anne-Josèphe Théroigne de Méricourt.[34]
The choice of focusing on the lives of characters rather than on the history of ideas or social movements is assented to by presenter Stéphane Bern: "I'm among those who think it's important to know the reigns, to know those who wrote history, and not just the evolution of ideas, this global vision that prevents students from having landmarks and a certain anchoring".[34]
The characters chosen are often from the nobility (kings, queens, emperors, empresses, etc.). Of the eighty-five subjects broadcast between January 2007 and July 2014, fifty dealt with a crowned head.[35]
According to Stéphane Bern, this editorial choice was made in response to audience demand:
Every time I do a show about revolutionaries, painters, or people like Clemenceau, it doesn't work as well as when I do a show about Marie Antoinette. [...] Besides, I've already covered a lot of revolutionaries. In 2016, I did an issue on Les femmes de la Révolution (Women of the Revolution) and it flopped in the ratings.[36]
Some issues are dedicated to artistic figures: writers (Victor Hugo, George Sand, Agatha Christie), painters (Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso), musicians (Mozart, Beethoven), actors (Sarah Bernhardt), playwrights (Molière) or opera singers (Maria Callas).[37] Others are political figures (Richelieu, Mazarin, Fouquet, Talleyrand, Danton, Clemenceau, Churchill, De Gaulle), military figures (Joan of Arc) or navigators (Christopher Columbus). Some historical figures have been the subject of several broadcasts. Louis XIV and Napoleon I, for example, were the subject of three programs. Two programs were devoted to Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, Molière, Madame de Pompadour, Casanova, Mozart, Elisabeth of Austria (Sissi), Ludwig II of Bavaria and Jesus.[38]
Although Antiquity is not one of the most represented periods on the show, issues are regularly devoted to characters from this period (Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, Agrippina, Nero, Jesus, Judas, Nefertiti, Tutankhamun).[32]
More rarely, some issues are devoted to illustrious places (L'Élysée, Monaco, the royal residences or the Vatican), historical enigmas (the Templar treasure, the Iron Mask, the Beast of Gévaudan) or landmark events (the storming of the Bastille).[39]
Broadcast format
[edit]Previous formula
[edit]Between 2007 and 2008, the program alternated reports with on-set debates hosted by Stéphane Bern. The reports consisted of interviews with historians, interspersed with presentations of archive documents, paintings and film extracts recreating these historic events, all commented on by a voice-over.[40]
The on-set debates were filmed in the Royal Library of Versailles.[1] Hosted by Stéphane Bern, the program was accompanied by Isabelle Heullant-Donat (historian of the Middle Ages at the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne), Clémentine Portier-Kaltenbach (history columnist at Le Nouvel Obs) and Philippe Charlier (paleopathologist and forensic pathologist).[40] In this format, programs lasted around an hour.
New formula
[edit]As of 2017, the film extracts had been removed to make way for scenes of historical re-enactments with actors. The actors were dressed in period costumes, but didn't speak a word, with commentary provided by historians Stéphane Bern and Isabelle Benhadj.[10] In the new format, programs lasts between an hour and a half and two hours.
Speakers
[edit]Depending on the subject, various specialists are interviewed during the program to shed light on the characters or the historical context. They may be historians, writers who have written a biography of the character in question, professors, archaeologists or museum curators.[1]

Program sheet
[edit]- Credits: the program's first credits (2007-2012) were an extract from the soundtrack of X-Men: The Last Stand, entitled Whirlpool of Love, and composed by John Powell. Since 2013, the second theme has been a work composed by Léonard Le Cloarec, assisted by Bertrand Allagnat and Julien Bonnard, and performed by the Orchestre national de Radio France and the choirs of the Maîtrise de la cathédrale de Reims, images of which can be seen in the end credits.[215]
Impact on tourism
[edit]In an interview with TV5Monde in 2018, Stéphane Bern claimed that visits to heritage sites featured in the programs increased by 30% following their broadcast.[216]
In August 2016, for example, the House of George Sand in Nohant-Vic saw a 38% increase in visitor numbers compared with previous years, a success that the château's manager attributed at the time to the Secrets d'Histoire program devoted to George Sand, broadcast at the beginning of August.[217]
The Royal Chapel of Dreux, which was the subject of a Secrets d'Histoire issue in October 2018, also saw a 7% increase in attendance in 2019.[218]
Critics
[edit]Press releases
[edit]In its August 2008 review, Le Soir notes that Secrets d'Histoire contains intimate details about the private lives of the characters featured. In this sense, the daily sugests that the program is more entertainment than documentary. It also notes that the program has the advantage of taking viewers "behind the scenes of places of power" such as the châteaux de Malmaison, Compiègne and Fontainebleau.[219]
In November 2013, Le Figaro noted: "Whether he's talking about Marie-Antoinette, Frederick II or Catherine of Russia, Stéphane Bern's passion is infectious. A passion for history and for human beings. The crowned-heads specialist has a gift for taking us back in time, pushing open the door to hidden cabinets and secret passages like a little mouse. Curious and cultured, the journalist lends a lightness to the most serious events. A storyteller's gift to be cultivated."[220]
Controversies
[edit]Criticism of the historical aspect of the programs
[edit]In 2014, the media criticism association Acrimed published an article entitled "Secrets d'Histoire, le magazine royaliste de France 2? (Secrets d'Histoire, France 2's royalist magazine?)", in which it considered the program to be more entertainment than historical documentary, tackling "historically anecdotal" subjects and giving pride of place to the private lives of "great men". For the association, the program is "halfway between a celebrity report and a monarchist manifesto".[221]
It notes that Secrets d'Histoire "is not intended to attract specialists, or even enlightened amateurs. Nor does it aim to offer as many people as possible an accessible, balanced view of a variety of historical subjects, reflecting the points of consensus in the historical community, while leaving sufficient room for doubt and debate. At most, it's a form of audiovisual entertainment that takes a few historical precautions. The genre is not a priori contemptible, but under the guise of offering instructive entertainment, Secrets d'Histoire puts across a very singular version of French history".[221]
In response to these criticisms, Stéphane Bern declares: "It's a public service program, we're not here to popularize, but to interest as many people as possible and make culture accessible". He adds: "We want to encourage debate and contradiction. There is no established truth. That's why historians, who feature prominently on the program, bring different arguments to the table."[222]
This choice to keep history accessible is also embraced by some regular contributors, such as Virginie Girod: "It's a pleasure to share history with a wide audience, to start from the intimate to move towards historical data with this aim: to be accessible to all. [...] As for the contemptuous look of certain academics, that's not a problem. Those who criticize these programs are the ones who are never invited."[223]
Criticism for lack of subject diversity
[edit]The Left Party, via a statement signed on May 26, 2015 by Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Alexis Corbière, and addressed to the president of France Télévisions, made a similar criticism, lamenting that the program presents a "truncated History, nostalgic for kings and queens, presenting the people as a secondary and brutal historical actor when they mobilize".[224]
The press release also pointed out that of the eighty-eight episodes broadcast since 2008, "only five programs, or 6% of the total, have been devoted to personalities or places linked to the Republic".[224]
Stéphane Bern has responded indirectly to these accusations, reaffirming his commitment to the Republic. In an interview with the French newspaper Libération, he also pointed out that program ratings are one of the criteria used to select the best subjects. Finally, he points out that the aim of these programs is to arouse interest in history in all its diversity:
You can't catch flies with vinegar. If you want to reach five million people, you can't do historical dialectics. I'm convinced that what makes history accessible is that you find human passions, love, sex, power and money. People need to identify with it. It's just a gateway, but I'm aware that it's fragmentary.[225]
