“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 off this feather bed of civilisation, and to find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints.”
Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson,
“avant-garde ” hiker !On 22 September 1878, the young Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson le# Le-Monastier-sur-Gazeille (Haute-Loire) with his donkey Modestine. Twelve days, two-hundred-and-twenty kilometres and many adventures later, he arrived at Saint-Jean-du-Gard.He had two reasons for that trip: to recover from the return to America of Fanny Osbourne (whom he would eventually marry a few years later), and to discover the land of the Protestant Camisards…His book entitled Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes -largely inspired by his travel diary- was published in 1879, followed a few years later by the famous Treasure Island and !e Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.!is book has made it possible to trace his route, which has since become the Stevenson Trail (GR 70 Le Chemin de Stevenson). !is marked public hiking trail enables walkers to follow in the footsteps of the Francophile Scottish adventurer.
“!e merchant asked me for one of my cards; for he said it would be something to talk of in the future this donkey-driving, English amateur vagrant.”

You will $nd a map at the end of this brochure to help you visua-lize the route.!e association has brought together a large number of pro-fessionals to meet your expectations. For more information on what they have to o"er, feel free to contact them directly. On your own or accompanied, as a group, as a family, on foot, in the company of a donkey, on a mountain bike or on horse-back… there are so many di"erent ways to discover the Stevenson Trail!

Hiking Trips with Donkeys If you are travelling with a donkey, your furry "iend will “try” you, even though it will be better trained than Modestine. A donkey can be obedient but is above all an intel-ligent creature who will adapt to whoever is leading it. !is is why children should only lead with the help of an adult at #rst. A donkey is then the ideal companion: gentle and "iendly, it soon becomes the central character of the party, sometimes trying to share your picnic or occasionally stopping to wait for a walker who has been le$ behind.Enjoy your walk but keep this in mind: by travelling with a donkey you are taking a risk – that of not being able to do without it in the future!
O� providing a protected, easy-to-access, hazard-free area of at least 50 m2, located no more than one kilometre from the accommoda-tion area,
O� providing good quality hay and barley in su%cient quantities as well as a block of salt,
O��providing clean water drin-king facilities for the donkeys,
O� providing a sheltered area to store donkey equipment overnight.

La Fédération Française de Randonnée Pédestre
In 1993, the main French walkers association Fédération Française de Randonnée Pédestre (FFRandonnée) sign-posted the Stevenson Trail, thus creating the GR® 70 between Le-Monastier-sur-Gazeille and Saint-Jean-du-Gard. To facilitate access to this historic path, it has now been extended from Le Puy to Alès.Marking is carried out by volunteers from the local committees of Haute-Loire, Lozère and Gard.Finally, the FFR co-publishes with Chamina the GR 70 guide book, an invaluable help for walkers together with the relevant IGN 1/25th maps.

!e bedbug is an insect with a (at-tened oval body, 5 to 7 mm long. Over the past few years, this pest has established itself all over France, and especially in hikers’ accommodation.Bedbugs feed on human blood, par-ticularly at night. !eir bites can at times be very itchy. Bedbugs get around by lodging in hikers’ sleeping bags and duvets, and moving from accommodation to
accommodation along hiking routes.Silence is a bedbug’s best friend. Not talking about it allows it to proliferate.!at is why information circulates freely inside the Stevenson network. Accommodation providers belonging to the network are informed and asked to carry out regular checks and preven-tative treatments in their facilities. Note that the presence of bedbugs in an establishment is not in any way a consequence of bad hygiene.Hikers have their part to play in controlling this plague by following some basic rules:- Check the inside of your duvet or sleeping bag every day before packing it, and regularly and closely examine the contents of your rucksack - Preventatively treat your duvet, luggage and personal e"ects (inside and outside)- If you have been bitten or suspect that there are bedbugs in your accommodation, tell the owner- Carefully follow the instructions given by each accommoda-tion provider- When reserving accommodation, do not hesitate to ask the owners whether they preventatively treat their bedrooms, and if so, how.

“I have been a$er an adventure all my life,
a pure dispassionate adventure, such as befell early and heroic (oyagers; and thus to be found by morning in a random woodside nook
in Gevaudan -not knowing north "om south, as strange to my surroundings
as the #rst man upon the earth, an inland castaway- was to #nd a "action
of my day-dreams realised.” R. L. Stevenson
