Forthcoming Book on Walking in France

A Walker’s Discovery of France

Since I finished my tramp around France in June 2009 I have been working on a book to reflect on my experiences. It will not be a walking guide with directions for every inch of the way and notes on every monument. There are plenty of guides in French and English already published. Nor will it be a serious work of history or an exhaustive analysis of contemporary France. I am selecting the most interesting things I have seen with my own eyes and heard with my own ears. The variety of France’s landscapes and regions, its history and culture, will form a stage set for a series of adventures and random encounters with French men and women from all walks of life. I will start with a number of chapters on each region I crossed and end with some reflections on France today. What I hope will emerge is a personal portrait of France and its people in all their diversity. There will be some pictures and most important good maps.
