In the summer of 2000, two friends set out from Paris in a weathered blue Citro�n C15 van, armed with little more than a vague plan to hug the coast and see where the road led. What began as a simple escape became an unforgettable odyssey through the wild, layered landscapes of Brittany and Normandy.
This is not a conventional travel guide with star ratings, must-see lists, or tightly scheduled itineraries. Instead, *Wheels on the Edge* is a deeply personal reconstruction of memory; recalled two decades later; where the journey lives in vivid sensory fragments: the low rumble of diesel, the sting of Atlantic salt on skin, the taste of warm g�teau Breton shared on a windswept cliff, the resonant silence of ancient standing stones, the rhythmic patter of rain on a metal van roof, and the cool, timeless feel of granite under fingertips.

Max Nabati weaves together the freedom of youth, the quiet wonder of discovery, and the occasional discomfort of life on the road into a narrative that honours the meandering spirit of slow travel. Through the battered van's windshield, readers glimpse the staggering prehistoric alignments of Carnac, the raw fury of Finist�re's cliffs, the shadowy remnants of wartime bunkers, the painterly light filtering through a Normandy garden, and the endless pull of the horizon.

With fidelity to the emotions of that era; the exhilaration, the solitude, the small joys and unexpected hardships; this book captures the essence of a journey measured not in kilometres, but in moments that quietly reshape the soul. It is for anyone who has ever surrendered to an unknown road, found refuge in a temporary shelter on wheels, or believed that the truest adventures are those that linger long after the map is folded away.

Nabati's prose is intimate and evocative, blending youthful curiosity with the wisdom of hindsight. He takes gentle liberties with chronology for narrative flow and enriches the tale with historical and geographical context gleaned over the years, yet the core remains authentic: two friends in a little blue van, charting their own course through France's Celtic and medieval heartlands, Atlantic edges, and reflective shores.

Whether you're a lifelong traveller drawn to the romance of van life, a reader nostalgic for pre-smartphone wanderlust, or simply someone who appreciates stories of human connection to place, *Wheels on the Edge* invites you to ride along; windows down, no destination required.
