“For my part, I travel not to go anywhere but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. And to write about it afterwards…
But the great affair is to move, to feel the needs and hitches of life a little more early, to get down of this feather’s bed of civilisation, and to find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints.”
Robert Louis Stevenson “Travel with a donkey in the Cevennes”.
In 1879, the diary Walking in the Cevennes with a donkey was published after the young writer had walked the path which links the 4 departments of Haute-Loire, Ardèche, Lozère and Gard, at the crossroad between Auvergne and Languedoc-Roussillon regions, full of discoveries and surprises. This young scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson left Monastier sur Gazeille on the 22 of September and arrived 12 days and many adventures later at Saint Jean du Gard, a few 220 km southwards. The Stevenson s path follows the very well waymarked GR70. ( Read more : Ici & Là Nature )

This is great! I had no idea there was a Robert Louis Stevenson trail. Looks like a path I’d love to walk. What a beautiful country.

Beautiful pictures. Great presentation. But I don’t know if it’s a good place to follow a donkey around.

Why we were here many years ago we came across leaflets on the subject, but whoever designed them thought that the author’s name was Polo Stevenson, and so they were printed.
