Pékin Express

CONCEPT

Eight pairs compete in a 10,000 km race across a continent that varies with the seasons. The challenge is daunting: €1 per person per day. For the rest, they will have to be daring and exchange services with the people they meet throughout their stay in order to obtain help and advance in the Peking Express adventure!

Twenty years ago, 10 pairs of candidates attempted to hitchhike from Paris to Beijing on just €1 per person per day. It was the beginning of an extraordinary adventure, a now legendary program that has taken more than 200 candidates on a journey of over 200,000 km, through nearly 50 countries, discovering incredible places and rich and generous people, all under the banner of escape, sharing, and self-improvement. For this anniversary season, “The Route of the Legendary Tribes,” our 10 anonymous pairs will set off at the foot of Kilimanjaro. They will set off to discover a fascinating continent with extraordinary culture and scenery: Africa.
