«Sur les chemins noirs» is the travelogue by Sylvain Tesson, published by Folio in paperback (176 pages, in French).
After an accident that left him in a coma, Sylvain Tesson crosses France on foot along rural paths away from the main routes. The journey becomes a meditation on landscape, geography and deep France, where silence and slowness allow one to rediscover a country far from highways and crowds.
The edition belongs to the Folio collection of Gallimard and dates from February 2019.
Recommended for readers of travel literature and contemplative narrative about nature and rural France.
