| Summary |
Driven by curiosity, wanderlust, health crises, and with their fiftieth birthdays looming, David Downie and his wife set out from Paris to walk across France to the Pyrenees. Starting on the Rue Saint-Jacques, then trekking 750 miles south to Roncesvalles, Spain, their eccentric route would take 72 days on Roman roads and pilgrimage paths. The object of any pilgrimage is an inward journey manifested in a long, reflective walk. For Downie, the inward journey met the outer one: a combination of self-discovery and physical regeneration. |
