Stevenson's Trail: The Cevennes - 11 Days

Step back in time and follow in the footsteps of Robert Louis Stevenson on the 'Stevenson's Trail: The Cevennes – 11 Days' walking tour. Starting in Le Puy-en-Velay and concluding in St Jean De Gard, this self-guided trek retraces the legendary route chronicled in Stevenson’s classic travel memoir, 'Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes.'

The journey spans hilly regions of extinct volcanoes and the wild, mountainous Cevennes, passing through unspoiled national parks, romantic ruins, and villages little changed since Stevenson’s day. The trail is marked as GR70, guiding you over Mont du Goulet and Mont Lozere, and through landscapes filled with natural beauty and a sense of serene isolation.

Throughout the moderate trek, enjoy comfortable hotel accommodations and the convenience of arranged meals and transport, allowing you to focus on the ever-changing scenery—vast plateaux, deep forests, and sunlit valleys. The region remains a hidden gem, rich with history and gentle adventure.

The unique selling point of this tour package is its blend of literary heritage and unspoiled French countryside, offering experienced travelers a chance to walk a path that inspired one of the great travel classics while savoring the hospitality and tranquility of the Cevennes.
