Crossing the Isle of Beauty
31 August 2024 — 10 September 2024
A 10-day trek takes us across the Corsican slopes, in conquest of the mythical GR20. Will it be the sun, the diabolical elevation gain, or the overtourism that gets us?

Reunion
| 2024-08-31
More than a year separates my reunion with my friend William. Last time, we were walking the deserted Cathar trail out of season. This time, however, we’ve chosen a far more touristy route: the GR20.
We arranged to meet in Marseille to catch the boat. I make this journey by train from Bordeaux, on a line I’m starting to know by heart. Fortunately, Giono keeps me company during these 6.5 hours of waiting, and I finish devouring Que ma Joie Demeure.
