Eleven months of preparation

The show, which gathered more than two million viewers on average last year, requires eleven months to produce each season, including six months to prepare the stages in the greatest secrecy, obtain the authorizations of the countries crossed and select the pairs from the mountain of applications (around 40,000 per year). As for filming, it mobilizes around a hundred people every day.
