Philip Faiers

Founder of France Magazine in 1990. Editor 1990 – 2004. Travel writer of the Year 2003. As well as writing on all things France-related, I am a keen long-distance trekker. I have completed the Chemin de la Liberté retracing the steps of wartime escapees across the Pyrenees. In 2006 I walked the GR10 along the Pyrenees in 50 consecutive days. I have also walked the Tour de Mont Blanc and the GR20 on Corsica, and am currently walking the GR34—a 1,000 mile coastal path around Brittany. I live in South-West France overlooking the Pyrenees and am writing a book about my Pyrenean adventures.
