For 15 years, Marc de Chalvron has traveled the planet to report on the wars taking place there.
Returning from a particularly trying mission in Ukraine, he told François Beaudonnet that, for the first time, for a moment, he was afraid of not being able to finish the report he had just started. With his team, the France 2 journalist was in fact in a trench, alongside Ukrainian soldiers, on the front line, under bombardment by the Russian army.
Marc de Chalvron recounts the immense fatigue of these soldiers, most of whom have been fighting since the start of the war, more than 2 years ago.
He also returns to the report he recently did in Haiti for the magazine “Envoyé Spécial”

About the podcast: “At the info counter” is the first native (audio) podcast from France Télévisions. In the form of a journalistic interview, an actor who produces public service television news – a major reporter, a cameraman, a presenter – comes to speak, tell, reveal the way in which he works. In the soundscape of a café counter, he confides his doubts, his joys, but also his fears when he is in the field or in the studio. Since May 2021, the podcast “At the Info Counter” has also received journalists from Radio France (France Inter, France Info, France Culture).
The series is produced by François Beaudonnet, editorialist on franceinfo (channel 27), senior reporter at France 2 and columnist in the program “Nous, les Européens” on France 3. Former correspondent in Rome and Brussels, he started on radio where he presented the 1 p.m. news on France Inter.
