At the age of 50+, Susie walks, all alone, across France...500 miles from the West to the East, with her tent on her back.
She hands over her French farmhouse full of assorted animals to a total stranger from Texas she finds on the internet.
As Susie doggedly tramps over unknown terrain from La Rochelle to Geneva, frequently lost and either too hot or too cold, Texan Jennifer copes heroically with lost dogs, erratic electricity, old men hiding in bushes, and a language she cannot speak.For each of them it is a life-changing experience.
Both find their resourcefulness and ingenuity tested to the limit as, in their own ways, they explore and enjoy the culture, cuisine and people of Europe’s most fascinating country.
