Itinerary

Follow a literary legend’s path through France on the 'Stevenson's Trail: The Cevennes – 8 Days' tour. This self-guided walking trip takes you from Le Puy-en-Velay to Florac, tracing the footsteps of Robert Louis Stevenson and his trusty donkey, immortalized in his classic travelogue.

The GR70 trail winds through extinct volcanic hills and into the dramatic Cevennes, revealing ancient ruins, unspoiled forests, and far-reaching mountain vistas. While not overly strenuous, the moderate trek crosses two significant peaks—Mont du Goulet and Mont Lozere—offering a sense of achievement and adventure. En route, you’ll be welcomed in comfortable hotels with all meals and logistics arranged, so you can focus on enjoying the journey and the tranquil beauty of southern France.

What distinguishes this trip is its connection to both history and nature: the chance to walk a storied route with literary significance, away from the crowds yet rich in scenic variety. For travelers who seek inspiration and solitude, this walking tour offers a memorable and authentic French experience.

The walk was very satisfying. It was tougher than we expected however. Especially the Le Monastier to Le Bouchet. The app worked well for the most part. I would say all accommodation was good with the exception of one where the hotel room was very small and the staff not that helpful.

The walk was spectacular and we both found it harder than we thought. Some more info about the local buses would have been helpful. We both needed to use them to shorten some days.
