Le Juste Prix ("The Right Price") is a French adaptation of the American game show The Price Is Right that airs on TF1. It first premiered in 1987 and ran until the original version was canceled in 2001. In 2002 a brief sequel, Le Juste Euro ("The Euro Fair"), ran on France 2 and was hosted by Patrice Laffont, it only ran for two episodes. On July 27, 2009 a new version of Le Juste Prix premiered on TF1. This version, which aired for six years, was hosted by Vincent Lagaf with Gerard Vivès as announcer. On February 7, 2022 a new version of the show premiered on TF1. It is hosted by Vincent Lagaf' and narrated by Vincent Piguet.
While all price elements were intact, the series utilized format changes that were exclusive and unique to this version. Here is a list of the format changes:
1987–88: Airing only on Sunday, this format featured three pricing games, and used the Big Wheel (La Roue) to determine the two Showcase (La Vitrine) players, with players spinning only once. A variation of this format would be used on the German version of The Price Is Right, when it premiered in 1989.
1988–2000: The format most fans are familiar with, the show expanded to seven days a week. On the Monday-Saturday shows, the show used the 1987 format, but there was only one La Roue winner; that person moved on to the Sunday finals; that used the traditional hour-long format, with the two La Roue winners advancing to La Vitrine. Since 1995, 100 on the wheel in one spin won a bonus of 1,000F (€152) which increased with each spin of the wheel.
1998–2000: Starting in 1998, the daily winners got a chance to win a trip, by playing a version of Clock Game called "Le Grand Voyage", in which the player has 20 seconds to guess the price of the trip. This game moved to the regular lineup in 2000.
2000–01: Losing the weekend airings, the new Monday-Friday shows kept the hour format, but the two La Roue winners faced off in a new La Vitrine, a hybrid of the U.S. and European Showcase formats. The top winner stopped a range finder with values ranging from 5,000F (€762) to 30,000F (€4,573). A single Showcase (usually over 100,000F [€15,244]) was presented; both players bid on it, and the one closest to the actual retail price and within range without going over won.
In the final season, when the euro was coming into effect, all games gave their prizes and prices in both francs and euros.
