4''Questions pour un champion'' (French for "Questions for a Champion") is a daily UsefulNotes/{{Fr|ance}}ench GameShow. Produced under license of the British company Creator/FremantleMedia, it is the [[TransatlanticEquivalent French version]] of ''Series/GoingForGold'', airing on the France 3 channel since 1988 (significantly outliving its British counterpart). It is the [[LongRunners second oldest still airing]] French game show after ''Des chiffres et des lettres'' (the show that inspired ''Series/{{Countdown}}''), which started in 1965.

The only difference consists in the game always starting with a pool of 4 contestants instead of 7 (outside prime time specials) and 3 rounds instead of 4.
