Trivia
The director, Alexandre Astier, cast his parents, Lionnel Astier and Joëlle Sevilla, as Guinièvre's parents. He cast his half-brother Simon Astier as Guinièvre's brother (so that Lionnel and Simon, who are father and son, play father and son). He cast Simon's mother, Josée Drevon, as Arthur's mother Ygerne. Since Alexandre Astier plays Arthur, he is thus surrounded by his own family. He and his father look so much alike that the comic book artist Steven Dupré had to make Léodagan (Lionnel's character) look fatter so that he would not be confused with King Arthur.

Goofs
For most of the round table scenes in the earlier seasons (the ones with a strong sitcom feel and budget), during the wide shots, the knights are spaced out a lot more than in the close-ups showing two characters, because the characters need to be seated closer to each other in order to both fit in the frame. This happens dozens and dozens of times.

Quotes
Père Blaise: Ok, this is how it sounds "Chevaliers Perceval and Karadoc boldy boarded the boat, slew the giant serpent and were welcomed back to the village as heroes". How's that?
Perceval, chevalier du pays de Galles: Good.
Karadoc, chevalier de Vannes: Except we didn't get on a boat.
Père Blaise: What then?
Perceval, chevalier du pays de Galles: Nothing. We were at the edge of the lake. I just took off my boots.
Karadoc, chevalier de Vannes: We had water up to our knees.
Arthur, roi de Bretagne: And the giant serpent attacked you at the edge of the lake.
Karadoc, chevalier de Vannes: Yes.
Arthur, roi de Bretagne: In that much
[about three feet]
Arthur, roi de Bretagne: water.
Karadoc, chevalier de Vannes: Yes.
Arthur, roi de Bretagne: How big was this giant serpent?
Perceval, chevalier du pays de Galles: About this long
[about two feet]
Perceval, chevalier du pays de Galles: .
Arthur, roi de Bretagne: So basically you caught an eel.
Perceval, chevalier du pays de Galles: It's the smallest ones you have to watch out for.
Karadoc, chevalier de Vannes: They're fast.
Arthur, roi de Bretagne: The villagers welcomed you back as heros?
Perceval, chevalier du pays de Galles: They're overrun by eels. Catching one does them a favour.
Arthur, roi de Bretagne: You're not fish wardens!
Père Blaise: So will you be going back?
Perceval, chevalier du pays de Galles: It's a long way.
Karadoc, chevalier de Vannes: 40 days to get there.
Perceval, chevalier du pays de Galles: The same to get back.
Arthur, roi de Bretagne: The time you were away three months it was that?
Père Blaise: I don't know how I'm gonna make this sound good.

The best TV series

It is a French humorous series which was broadcast for the first time on 03/01/2005 on television. It is a series that has 6 seasons and 458 episodes. The series was created and directed by Alexandre Astier. The main characters are : King Arthur, played by Alexandre Astier / Guenièvre, played by Girouard and Leodagan, played by Lionnel Astier. The story is set in the Middle-Ages in Great Britain. This is the story of the knights of the round table, led by King Arthur. They are all looking for the Holy Grail. But it looks bad ... For me, it's the best humorous series in France and every xhere in the world. The plot is amazing and so are the characters. The replicas are already cult.
