I enjoyed reading athis book about the walking travels across France. It is very descriptive of the walk along the way. A person feels like he/she is on the walk. The author's description of the challenges/pleasures of the walk are good. A great, easy read.

I really enjoyed this book. I liked getting to know the author and his wife who took this trek with him. Reading their impressions of the towns and areas where they walked was very interesting. I think the best part was reading about their physical and emotional reactions to the whole trip.

It was a nice read, except when the author went off of the topic of their walk and the surroundings. His side topics were boring and a distraction. I found myself skipping over his musings; the history of an area was fine, but I was not interested in what poem he was memorizing during the walk. It was just OK.

I loved this book. I spent a few wonderful mornings on my porch, with the noise of cicadas in the background, enjoying this book of 'The Walk' from Mediterranean to the Atlantic by an Investment banker (who quits his job) and his wife. Tres charmante. Recommended to all those who love to engage in armchair travel.
Interesting tale of how the author left a high-paying stressful job in London to try something "different". At forty five years old and not in the best shape he, along with his French speaking wife set out to walk across France from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic.Their goal is to walk twenty miles a day. It is entertaining as well as uplifting.
I liked this walk-along journey through France, from the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean. Blisters, dogs, and the troubles of finding food and inns - it is all intoxicating to read.
Inspiring
This was a great read. I really enjoyed this book---finished it in two days!
I hated for this book to end!
