A unique casting! Two ex-candidates for Miss France launch into the Beijing Express race

Two former candidates of Miss France will venture into the new edition of Beijing Express, The route of legendary tribes. Discover their identity!

Mark your calendars! On January 16, M6 will unveil the brand new edition of Beijing Express, entitled The Route of the Legendary Tribes. This anniversary chapter promises to be epic. Hosted by Stéphane Rotenberg, this 20th “anniversary” season will this time take the pairs to the heart of southern Africa. The journey promises to dazzle viewers, with stops planned in Tanzania, Mozambique – a first in the show's history – Lesotho, as well as South Africa. On the casting side, to mark these twenty years of adventure, the production relied on several different profiles in order to form ten entertaining pairs. If the show has not yet started, two candidates are already causing a sensation: Cécile Wolfrom, Miss Alsace 2021 and 2nd runner-up to Diane Leyre, and Marion Navarro, Miss Franche-Comté 2022 and 2nd runner-up to Indira Ampiot.

Now 27 years old, Cécile Wolfrom may not have won the crown of Miss France 2022 but she has come a long way since then. A sixth-year pharmacy student at ESSEC, the young woman has several projects at the same time, particularly in the humanitarian field. For her part, Marion Navarro studies in a fashion school and she would like to launch her own clothing brand. These two women with impressive backgrounds met through their respective titles of Miss France runners-up and quickly became friends. “Determined to overcome prejudice linked to their appearance, they want to prove their values ​​and their resilience”, announced M6 in its press release. This is an adventure that seems designed for them!

Cécile Wolfrom: the young woman speaks on Instagram

As soon as the official announcement was revealed, Cécile Wolfrom shared her happiness on Instagram. “It is with INCREDIBLE emotion and a lot of excitement that we announce our participation in season 20 of PEKIN EXPRESS. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT???”, she wrote in the caption of the promotional photo for the M6 ​​show, before adding: “We are so proud to take on this new challenge and totally ready to take it on! We TURN ON YOUR TV to cry with laughter, joy, discover incredible landscapes, and above all to support us to the ends of the earth.” A contagious enthusiasm which delighted Internet users. Cécile Wolfrom and Marion Navarro therefore received several messages of encouragement.
