A large pool is at the center of the room to allow candidates to swim inside. In the open air, there is a large terrace for sunny days. This space is built in La Plaine Saint-Denis, as is the case with many TVs reality show. At the end of the adventure, one of sixteen participants will walk away with the jackpot of €150,000.
