CONCEPT
The programme is broadcast on M6 from 2006 and 2014 and hosted by Stéphane Rotenberg.
Twenty candidates are divided into teams of two. Every team competes all along a 10 000km race on a continent that varies depending on the season. The challenge in huge: 1€ per day and per person. For everything else: they will have to be daring and trade services…with people they will meet during their journey to obtain some help.
From season 1 to season 10, candidates could win as much as €50 000 after 45 days. For the following seasons, the sum increased to €100 000.

BONUS
But M6 wants to reassure its viewers: the shooting will take place for the 10th season of “Pekin Express”. We don’t know, however, if the host, Stéphane Rotenberg has also been arrested.
The 10th season began in Bangladesh on January 21st 2014. The season named “A la découverte des mondes inconnus” will have the candidates go through Sri Lanka, Nagaland, the kingdom of Bhutan and India.
This year, “Pekin Express” enrolled former candidates from previous seasons: Daidi from season 1 or even Jacky from season 4.
