The general public first knew him thanks to “Faut pas rêver”, which he presented from 1990 to 1999 on France 3. Scheduled on Friday in the second part of the evening on France 3, this program presented reports on exotic destinations. It was created by Georges Pernoud, the father of “Thalassa”, broadcast just before.
I learned with great sadness of the disappearance of Sylvain Augier. We animated “why? how?” together. » these are just happy memories. Sylvain was our always joking Tintin reporter. The treasure map family is very sad tonight

Risky sports in the skin
From 1996 to 2005, Sylvain Augier presented the adventure game “The Treasure Map” on the same channel, a distant descendant of the legendary “Treasure Hunt” by Philippe de Dieuleveult in the 1980s.
The candidates went in search of hidden objects in a given department, using the helicopter – one of Sylvain Augier’s passions – and solving puzzles.
Besides the helicopter, the host was crazy regarding risky sports. In 1988, at the age of 33, he had a serious paragliding accident in the Hautes-Pyrénées, which almost cost him the amputation of a foot.
Tentative de suicide
“He was our Tintin reporter, always a joker,” greeted Tuesday on the social network a great loss for the Sud Radio family,” reacted host Cécile de Ménibus on X.
Late in life, he spoke openly regarding his fight once morest bipolarity, this “formidable enemy” in a moving book published in October, “I’ve come back from afar”, which opened with a suicide attempt that he had made at 55 years.
So sad to learn of the disappearance of Sylvain Augier, the hero of our summers with #TheTreasureMap.
Thank you for making us dream and for blazing the trail by giving millions of French people a taste for adventure. Have a nice flight to you dear Sylvain and a thought to your loved onesud83dude4fud83cudffc pic.twitter.com/WFD412Od6c— Cyril Féraud (@cyrilferaud) March 19, 2024
