True to form, Julie takes her guests on a multitude of adventures, from a hotel suite in Paris with Céline Dion and her twins, to the whales near Charlevoix, to the ice floes with baby seals in the Magdalen Islands. All these sequences are launched from the set hoisted up in the open air on the banks of the St. Lawrence River in Montreal. This is where Michel Drucker and Julie welcome the stars. The hosts take advantage of their guests’ change of scenery to give them offbeat interviews. They face challenges on the set, have new experiences or recount adventures they’ve had before, exclusively for the show.

L’été indien is a great pow-wow where vacationing artists reminisce about the best moments of their year and confess their travel lapses. The party continues with exclusive singing performances (Stromae a cappella) or improbable duets (Mika and Cœur de Pirate). Indian summer is the best part of summer. The one that comes at the end. The one you never forget.
