I walked across France dressed as a giraffe

A British man has just completed walking 1000km across France dressed as a giraffe.

Seb Mayer - who is an English puppeteer - attracted thousands of followers on his TikTok page O霉 est la Girafe? - which means "Where is the giraffe?" Those followers have been watching his 10-week journey from Marseille to Paris.

He is walking the route of the very first giraffe in France - which arrived in the country 200 years ago.

Seb is now back home in London and he spoke to OS's James Reynolds about his experience.
