Reply to comment by pjabrony in TIL that the construction of Fort Boyard took so long that by the time of completion it was largely obsolete. Years later it found new purpose as a filming location for game shows. by SilasMarner77

Building started in 1801 and was completed in 1857

But the invention of TV took so long that the game show only started in 1990
