Following in Stevenson's footsteps means living an adventure that is constantly renewed throughout the trail’s 252 km.

A link between Auvergne and Languedoc, the path of Stevenson (author of Treasure Island), is also a link between two cultures, between two religions.

With or without a donkey, the hiker first descends from the vast volcanic plateaus of the Velay to the rugged highlands of the Gévaudan. The floral richness is exceptional, and in spring the fields burst into a thousand colours.

Then come the bare hills of Mont Lozère, regularly marked with granitic montjoies. The Cévennes country of the Camisards is close. The landscape is filled with chestnut trees, mulberry trees and vines. Southern and industrial Ales ends the trip.
