Season 1
S01:E01 - The Secret Life of the Bocage (Bourgogne)
The rather ordinary-looking bocage landscape has an extraordinary tale to tell. This familiar landscape is man-made, created centuries ago and maintained ever since. Yet it teems with wildlife.
S01:E02 - Forests in the Mist (Les Vosges)
The ancient upland forests of Western Europe are living monuments. They are home to a wealth of plant and animal species: large mammals and microscopic insects live side by side beneath the tall trees.
S01:E03 - Kingdom of the Birds (Littoral Nord)
The point where the English Channel meets the North Sea is a huge migratory hub. Numerous bird species come to this section of the west coast of Europe to rest, feed and bring up their young.
S01:E04 - Between Cliff-Top and Ocean (Bretagne)
Breakers have been crashing onto the Atlantic coast for thousands of years. It is a mineral world of earth, rock and water, swept by raging winds.
S01:E05 - Alpine Peaks (Alpes)
The giant mineral monument of Mont Blanc has soared into the sky for millions of years. It subjects living organisms to extreme conditions − violent winds, sheer rock faces, polar temperatures and raging avalanches.
S01:E06 - Nature in the City of Light (Ile De France)
From the city centre to the outermost fringes of the conurbation, a two-way invasion is taking place: while urban sprawl eats into the countryside, nature is moving into the city.
S01:E07 - In Beating Sun (Provence)
The garrigues and steppes of the Mediterranean are home to some startlingly exotic wildlife.
S01:E08 - Land of a Thousand Lakes (La Brenne)
Inland lakes and fens harbour a wide variety of birds and mammals. These mysterious, ancient landscapes are home to some highly unusual wildlife.
S01:E09 - As the River Flows (Loire)
The Loire is one of Europe's last free-flowing rivers − one of the few whose banks have not been developed and confined by man. As the seasons change, its water level rises and falls and the morphology of the river-bed alters.
S01:E10 - Treasures of the Deep (Corse)
Corsica is a treasure island. Its beaches are lapped by the Mediterranean; its sea-bed harbours strange and wonderful creatures, some of them found nowhere else in the world.
