A well written and vivid description of what you are seeing and feeling. I think your daily average is very commendable, and as you say it will probably get easier. Skip the middle third ? Not sure but you may look back and regret not walking the whole distance. The boring bit might turn out to be not so boring as you come across old villages and farms etc. Maybe start it and see how you feel after 4 or 5 days ? By coincidence I'm spending this week in your new home area of the Var - some walking but mainly cycling and motorhome miles. Bonne Route !
500 - 600 km in a month is probably 500 - 600 more days of good health when you eventually reach the autumn time of life. It's an investment as well as an adventure.

Thank you so much Andrew for your compliment and comment, which makes the writing worthwhile! Enjoy the Var, it's so special.
