Highlights: Fanny and Linda hitchhiked from Finistère to Paris to apply for Beijing Express. The application deadline for the show's next season was announced for May 31, 2023. "We feel like we are living an injustice," say the two young women, disappointed not to have been able to send their video already ready for the casting. Saved by a restaurateur, the casting is definitely closed for this year, but producer Thierry Guillaume advises them to apply by the classic way.


After missing the online registrations for the next season of Beijing Express, Fanny and Linda hitchhiked from Finistère to Paris


They are ready to do anything to realize their dream: to participate in the adventure show Beijing Express. The application deadline for the show's next season was announced for May 31, 2023, but the site eventually closed 15 days ahead of schedule. "We feel like we are living an injustice," say the two young women, disappointed not to have been able to send their video already ready for the casting.

Determined to try their luck in this show where candidates have to race through different countries without money, Fanny and Linda have a crazy idea. Hitchhiking to Paris from Finistère, as do the pairs in the show. Once the 500 km traveled in about ten hours, and the 9 cars necessary to go to the capital, they intend to submit their file in person, to the production company.

Saved by a restaurateur

But not everything went as planned for the two adventurers. Traffic jams, wrong addresses... It is not at the headquarters of M6 that applications must be submitted but at the production company. Except that the offices are already closed when they get there. Linda and Fanny do not give up and the savior is in the local restaurant where they sit down to rest.

"I met them in my restaurant," says Mayer, a cook in Boulogne-Billancourt. "They were desperate that they couldn't file their case, so I went back for her the next morning." But despite the efforts and his precious help, the casting is definitely closed for this year. Thierry Guillaume, the producer of the show, nevertheless advised them to apply for the following season, by the classic way. It remains to be seen if "intrepid Breton moms" will manage to pass the casting stage.
