Overview
- Byilhan (Ilhan Coskun) and Nico have been walking to Paris since September 8 while livestreaming the journey on Twitch, covering about 40 kilometers per day.
- On Thursday they crossed Lyon, drawing roughly 65,000 concurrent viewers as guards kept back pressing fans in the city center.
- Police previously escorted the pair out of Pierrelatte as gatherings swelled, with reported incidents including thrown eggs and bottles and insistent behavior from some followers.
- The streamers hired around ten bodyguards; Ilhan cited a €1,900 charge for two hours with 10 agents in Lyon, constraining how often they can use private protection.
- The broadcast is monetized through paid subscriptions, sponsorship and ads, and the duo now anticipate a difficult arrival in Paris in about ten days.
