But it is the pairs and their way of experiencing the adventure that will give the spice to this unique season.
Father and daughter, sisters, friends, grandfather and granddaughter, without forgetting the traditional pair of strangers, make up this new vintage.
Detail review.
Madhy and Manu, business friends
Mahdy and Manu have known each other forever and were raised like brothers.
Very united, they work together as salespeople but are also extremely different.
Madhy is not sporty at all.
He started a diet before starting competition but was unable to keep it up for long... Manu, for his part, loves sport and competition.
With their strong characters, they will undoubtedly spark sparks in the M6 adventure show.
Flavie and Jérémy, the little Swiss
The two Swiss participants met at college and hit it off straight away!
Both original, they share the same passion for ballroom dancing.
They launch into the show gently, being very attentive to each other.
Flavie had always dreamed of participating in “Pékin Express” and took Jérémy on her adventure.
Everyone comes with their strengths.
Organized and motivated, Flavie has enormous energy and a true competitive spirit.
Jérémy is more of a dreamer and is primarily interested in meeting the locals.
Patricia and Jessica, the Corsican colleagues
The two women have worked in the same office for seven years and have developed real friendships over the years.
They have no secrets from each other.
Everyone participates in the show for different reasons.
Jessica is a real mother hen and wanted to set herself a personal challenge to show that she is not just a mother.
Patricia, for her part, harbors a very spiritual side and “feels” that she must participate in the adventure program.
Ryad and Louison, the unknowns
As always, the production brought together two opposing profiles.
Ryad, originally from Berre-l'Étang in the Bouches du Rhône, has been a sports coach for twenty years and a fan of Jean-Claude Van Damme.
At 36, this bachelor lives only for sport.
Very generous and patient, he dreamed of participating in “Beijing Express” alongside a pretty young woman.
But it is with Louison that he will take a common path.
The young man, living in Saintes in Charente-Maritime, has a very different profile from Ryad since he is absolutely not sporty.
Goofy, dizzy and party animal, he counts on his optimism and his mental steel to succeed on the show.

Brandon and Nathan, the Belgian twins
The two young men are as alike as two drops of water.
However, they have almost opposite characters.
Nathan is calm, thoughtful and sporty while Brandon has a more assertive character and more spontaneity.
The twins rely on their complementarity to move forward in the adventure.
“Beijing Express” is a real challenge for the two brothers who still live with their parents with their sister and had, until then, never traveled in their lives.
Jérôme and Emma, the father hen and his daughter
Jérôme, a catering teacher, is very close to his daughter Emma, 19 years old.
The young woman has left the family nest and has already started her adult life.
At this important moment in her life, she is happy to participate in the “Beijing Express” adventure with her dad whom she considers her hero.
Their enormous complicity will be their main asset, as will their motivation and competitive spirit.
On the other hand, the very emotional pair can sometimes get carried away by their emotions.
Patrick and Myriam, the ch'ti grandfather and his granddaughter
Patrick lives in Guînes in Pas-de-Calais.
A great sportsman, this 68-year-old retiree runs 20 kilometers a day!
Grandfather of six grandchildren, he is particularly close to Myriam, his first granddaughter who lives in Aube.
Extremely complicit, they do not hide their happiness at sharing the “Beijing Express” adventure.
An opportunity for them to get to know each other better and create common memories.
If Patrick has traveled extensively, Myriam has not yet had this chance.
Inès and Lola, the inseparable sisters
Inès and Lola were born in Vietnam and were both adopted by a family of farmers living in Pays de la Loire.
Despite their obvious differences in character, they are extremely close and united.
They realize a childhood dream by participating, together, in “Pékin Express”.
With the 18th season ending in Vietnam, they are obviously very motivated to complete the adventure and return to their country of origin.
Especially since, if they win, they would like to offer a trip there to their adoptive parents.
