Koh-Lanta[]

Le Feu Sacré[]

Frédéric was selected by Nicolas Pretot to be a part of the Paniman tribe. After losing the first Immunity Challenge, Frédéric, Clémence Noquet, and Laura Yelpa voted against Tania Cakarevic, but Célia Desfontaines was voted out instead. The Paniman tribe won the following two Immunity Challenges, keeping its members safe for those two cycles.

At the final sixteen, a tribe switch took place and Frédéric was assigned by Rudy Noël to be a member of the second Tinago tribe. On the second Tinago tribe, the original Paniman tribe members and the original Tinago tribe members found themselves equal in numbers, however, the majority of both groups were united in fearing that Tania and Rudy had gotten too close to each other for comfort. In turn, Frédéric joined this majority in voting out Tania and Rudy at the Tinago tribe's next two Tribal Councils. For the remainder of the tribal phase, the Tinago tribe did not attend anymore Tribal Councils and Frédéric remained safe.

It was shown that Frédéric had bonded the most with Quentin Paygnard over the later end of the tribal phase and the pair made a final four deal with Gilles and Nicolas going into the merge. For the time being though, Gilles De Baere and Laura led a majority alliance of second Paniman tribe members that began pagonging the second Tinago tribe members while Frédéric and Quentin voted with the other second Tinago tribe members in order to feign obliviousness. At the final nine, Quentin selected Gilles to face him in the final of the second individual Reward Challenge, but Gilles decided to share his reward with Nicolas after he won it. While this pair were enjoying their reward and Frédéric and Quentin were doing camp chores together, the women of the tribe began realizing that Gilles had made a lot of endgame deals with people. Thus, an alliance between the four women and Esteban Garcia-Mora emerged and, after Gilles failed to win the third individual Immunity Challenge, they blindsided him at the corresponding Tribal Council in a 6-2-2 vote.

Though Frédéric and his allies suddenly found themselves in the minority, things shook up again at the final eight as the Tied Destinies twist took place which, due to the equal number of men and women among them, forced each of the women to be paired with a man. The pairings were Tania, who had returned to the game earlier during the tribal phase, and Frédéric, Julie Debever and Nicolas, Esteban and Clémence, and Quentin and Laura, with Tania and Frédéric winning the corresponding individual Immunity Challenge. In terms of planning for Tribal Council, the minority alliance of Frédéric, Quentin, and Nicolas evidently felt that their best move would be to target the pair of Esteban and Clémence and, out of self-preservation, their partners got on board with that save for Laura, who was willing to sacrifice Julie in order to keep Clémence around. At Tribal Council, Quentin joined Esteban, Clémence, and Laura in voting against Nicolas in order to feign loyalty to his partner, but Julie had an Extra Vote and Nicolas had a Black Vote which they used to help vote out Esteban, causing Clémence's exit as well due to the Tied Destinies twist.

A couple of cycles later, Laura was voted out near-unanimously mostly for her threat status as the endgame approached. With Quentin's alliance regaining control in the tribe, they planned to vote out Julie at the final five as there was a notion that Tania had a Hidden Immunity Necklace and would be playing it since it would be her last opportunity to do so at the corresponding Tribal Council. In response, Julie borrowed Tania's Hidden Immunity Necklace and showed it to Quentin in an attempt to get the alliance's votes off of her and onto Tania. At Tribal Council, Julie's plan worked as the men voted against Tania, Tania played her Hidden Immunity Necklace for herself and nullified all votes cast against her, and Quentin was "idoled out" thanks to the two votes cast against him by the women.

Having made it to the finale, Frédéric won the Perch challenge at the final three and took Tania to the Final Two instead of Nicolas. At the Final Tribal Council, Frédéric's decent performances in challenges combined with his superior social connections caused him to win against Tania in a 7-2 vote.
