Chemin de Stevenson, Long-distance walking path in south-central France
The GR70 trail extends over 272 kilometers from Le Puy-en-Velay to Alès, crossing four French departments through volcanic plateaus and mountain ranges.
Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson traveled this path with his donkey Modestine in 1878, documenting the journey in his book Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes.
The path connects multiple regional territories, from the volcanic Velay through Gevaudan and into the Cevennes National Park, presenting local architecture and traditions.
The trail maintains white and red markings throughout its length, with accommodations varying from basic campsites at 10 euros to hotels at 60 euros per night.
Hikers can follow Stevenson's footsteps by traveling with donkeys, which carry equipment while walking through the highest point at Mont Lozère at 1697 meters.
