Charity marathon held every year in the French-speaking part of Switzerland

This article is about the Swiss radio and television campaign. For it's general campaign as Serious Request on Dutch 3FM station and other stations, see Serious Request.

Cœur à Cœur (CÀC) (literally Heart-to-Heart) is the French Swiss version of Serious Request, originally created by Dutch radio station NPO 3FM in 2004.

The annually recurring show is a charity fundraiser for a chosen cause. As in the original Dutch version, several radio hosts or television personalities are locked inside a glass house for around a week. Every year, funds are collected in favour of Swiss Solidarity. The show is broadcast live in December on the Swiss public broadcasting organisation Radio Télévision Suisse (RTS).

The first edition, called Couleur Terre, took place in 2007 on Couleur 3. The show was then discontinued until 2016, when it returned with a new name and on other radio stations: Option Musique from 2016 to 2018 and La Première since 2019.

There was a similar format in the German-speaking part of Switzerland called Jeder Rappen zählt which was held every year until 2018.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the hosts weren't locked inside a glass house. Instead, they visited more than 60 locations all over Romandy.

Once again, there was no glass house. The hosts visited a different canton each day: Bern on Saturday, Valais on Sunday, Fribourg on Monday, Geneva on Tuesday, Vaud on Wednesday, Jura on Thursday and Neuchâtel on Friday.

This edition saw the return of the house glass, but it moved to a new city every day.
