Nathan Pauline surprised the audience on the occasion of France’s Heritage Day. He walked 600 meters across the Polynesian River, balancing his body weight. He used to take breaks for walking by sitting or lying down. “Focusing only on the ropes and ignoring everything around, the 600m walk that survived all the stress was not easy, but it was beautiful,” Pauline said after completing the adventurous walk.

During the demonstration, Paul’s slow-moving, sitting, and lying-down performances were applauded by the crowd inside and outside the Eiffel Tower. In December 2017, for a television charity fundraiser, he walked down a similarly ropeway from the Eiffel Tower. Paul’s achievement was part of the launch of the Cultural Olympiad, which includes a number of performances by French artists at celebrations in Paris on European Heritage Day. Pauline has achieved this through four years of training. In 2019, Pauline walked across a 150m high and 510m long spiral bridge between two skyscrapers in the La Defense Business District of Paris.
Nathan, who has been passionate about mountain sports since childhood, started his rope ride in 2011. As a child, he was afraid of heights and overcame it and jumped forward. He finds real joy in this activity that combines intense concentration and body control. Pauline has been one of the best people in the world in this category since 2013. Nathan holds more than 10 world records. He traveled 670 meters between the Eiffel Tower and Trocadero in Paris for a French charity TV show.
