Journalist Olivier Courtois is tired of his sedentary life. He’s decided to leave it all behind and go travelling around France. And he’s going to do it all by hitchhiking. Confined to the limited space of someone else’s car, he gets to know his travel companions pretty quickly. And because they’re unlikely to ever see each other again, his new friends feel freer to bring up all sorts of topics, from the silly to the philosophical. This true account of one man’s road trip through France is a wonderful portrait of the country and its people.
