GR®70 Stevenson's trail
From Le Puy-en-Velay (Haute-Loire) to Ales (Gard
|
|
The GR®70, or Stevenson Trail, crosses the varied landscapes of Auvergne and the Cévennes, offering hikers a total immersion in the nature and history of this region. The trail is named after the Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson, who embarked on this journey in 1878 with his donkey Modestine. Stevenson recounted his adventure in his book “Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes,” published in 1879. This travel narrative has become a source of inspiration for many hikers eager to follow in the author's footsteps through the mountains and valleys of this beautiful region. The history of the GR®70 is deeply intertwined with Stevenson’s reflections on nature, friendship, and self-discovery, as the path partially follows the route he took.
