Media Reviews
"...a lighthearted account of a walk across France by two middle-aged, previously sedentary neophytes. Rich in local color and details experienced only by those moving slowly enough to truly see, this book offers superb armchair traveling possibilities. It is also a candid account of a marriage whose chief participants are completely together without the buffer of work, children, or social obligations." -- Joan Hinkemeyer
-- Bloomsbury Review

Publisher's Notes
"[A] humorous and effervescent memoir of reflection, revitalization and good wine." -- San Francisco Chronicle At age forty-five, Miles Morland left his high-paying job at the London office of a Wall Street firm and took a leap -- actually, a hike -- into the unknown. A self-described "middle-aged wreck," Miles set out with his wife, Guislaine, to walk across France, from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic.Setting for themselves the goal of twenty miles a day, Miles and Guislaine made their way past farmyards and riverbanks, through dusty village squares and ripening vineyards, into ancient walled cities and over sand dunes. And as the hot, dry countryside unfolded slowly before them, the couple looked back with relief -- and wonder -- at the tense, frenzied corporate life they had left behind.The story of a walk, a marriage, an adventure, and a dream made real, A WALK ACROSS FRANCE marks the debut of an enormously entertaining writer.

A Walk Across France
FREE SHIPPING
Morland, Miles
Ballantine Books, 1994. Paperback. Very Good. From Booklist Walking tours are popular these days. And when you're a high-powered banker (British, in this case), it's the ticket for leaving behind job stress and reprioritizing what's important in life. That was the impulse behind Morland and his wife setting off on a 350-mile walk from the Mediterranean coast to the Atlantic coast of southern France. They had no guide--they plotted their own path and arranged for their own food and lodging. They suffered blisters, they learned French history, they argued and made up. Morland's humorous and colorful account of it all will give readers the desire to go off somewhere and do something entirely different.--- Toronto Store Pick-up Available.
