French singer and TV star Antoine Murracioli is visiting Seychelles to film the latest instalment in the French television series, ‘Les voyages d’Antoine’.

The ten part series features the popular 1960's crooner as the viewers' guide to some of the most beautiful islands in the world.

Doubtless well remembered by readers of a certain vintage, Antoine found fame almost 40 years ago with hits such as, "Bonjour Salut", "Les élucubrations", "Ratata" and "Je l'appelle Canelle."

Having already taken Murracioli to a number of exotic locations, further tropical adventures await as the series journeys on to the Maldives, Caribbean, Malaysia, Reunion, New Zealand, Madagascar, Thailand and the Galapagos.

Local sites to be filmed during Murracioli's stay in Seychelles include picturesque areas of Mahé, the Vallee-de-Mai, La Digue, ecosystems on Fregate and nature trails on Praslin, as well as inter island trips aboard a catamaran.

According to a press release from the company responsible for producing the series the singer is someone who is passionate about travelling and discovery.

"With his immense background knowledge of islands, and Seychelles in particular, he will be the ideal person to entice the general public to discover the nature of the archipelago," it says.
