The Voice : La plus belle voix (lit. 'The most beautiful voice') is a reality singing competition on TF1. It is France's version of The Voice format created by John de Mol. The first episode aired on 25 February 2012. It is the second time that the format has been produced in French after the Belgian version The Voice Belgique.
One of the important premises of the show is the quality of the singing talent. Four coaches, themselves popular performing artists, train the talents on their team and occasionally perform with them. Talents are selected in blind auditions, where the coaches cannot see, but only hear the auditioning contestant.
The original panel featured Florent Pagny, Jenifer, Louis Bertignac and Garou; the panel for the current fourteenth season features Pagny, Zaz, Vianney and Patricia Kaas. Other coaches that have appeared in previous seasons include Mika, Zazie, Matt Pokora, Pascal Obispo, Soprano, Julien Clerc, Amel Bent, Marc Lavoine, Lara Fabian and Bigflo & Oli. Nolwenn Leroy served as a coach for Comeback Stage contestants in the eleventh season. Camille Lellouche was the comeback stage coach for the thirteenth season. The Voice Kids coach Patrick Fiori participated as a coach in All Stars format of the show.
