The debut of Sophie Davant on Europe 1 was somewhat agitated! Unfamiliar with the games as a former host of Affaire Conclue, she has accumulated errors with the candidates of the radio.
Monday, August 28 marked a day of major transition for loyal Affaire Conclue viewers. It was indeed the last time that Sophie Davant stood in front of them to welcome her audience. “Hello everyone and welcome to the Affaire Conclue set. Unfortunately for me, this is the last time I say this sentence since I am leaving this show, but I have found a pretty and competent replacement. It is Julia who will take over the reins”she said with a touch of emotion, then addressing warm words to the wife of Kad Merad.
The departure of Sophie Davant from Affaire Conclue was not a decision taken lightly, but rather the consequence of an attractive proposal from Europe 1. The radio channel offered him the opportunity to take charge of the afternoon box, replacing Stéphane Bern. The opportunity to host her own show, a dream long nurtured by Sophie, could not be turned down. However, this choice had implications and sacrifices. The filming of Affaire Conclue became incompatible with this new radio role, thus forcing Sophie to make a choice.
Monday August 28 marked not only the last appearance of Sophie Davant on the set of Affaire Conclue, but also her debut on the airwaves of Europe 1. Although endowed with a great experience in television animation, the exercise of the radio presented new challenges. The result was marked by a series of blunders. In one sequence, Sophie got the profile of a contestant named Thomas wrong, claiming he was a father of two, despite only having a little cat named Sushi. A blunder quickly corrected with humor by the mother of Valentine and Nicolas, who admitted with self-mockery that she could make more mistakes on Europe 1.

The charm of spontaneity
The second part of the show was not spared either. This time, Sophie unwittingly revealed a candidate’s correct answer, breaking the suspense. Despite her efforts to prolong the moment by questioning her columnists, she was quickly unmasked by Jean-Luc Lemoine. The spontaneity and frankness of Sophie Davant proved to be the heart of her charm. “It’s the first time that I’ve hosted a game and I absolutely don’t know how to hide my emotions. They’ll decide that I definitely don’t know how to host a game!”, she replied with humor.
The transfer of power was marked by Sophie Davant’s moving farewell to Affaire Conclue, opening a new chapter in her radio career on Europe 1. If she showed that she still had to learn in terms of radio animation, her sincerity and its spontaneity will continue to be its charm and its trademark.
