Travels in the Cévennes 2019 on the Robert Louis Stevenson Trail GR 70

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 clearly, to get down off this feather bed of civilisation, and to find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints. Robert Louis Stevenson The Association Sur le Chemin de R.L. Stevenson The path pioneered by Robert Louis Stevenson in 1878 links the départements of Haute-Loire, Ardèche, Lozère and Gard, deep in the Massif Central, and offers daily discoveries and surprises. The association Sur le Chemin de Robert Louis Stevenson was created in 1994 with the aim of promoting this itinerary and helping the constantly growing number of walkers to plan their trip on the GR 70 from Le Puy-en-Velay to Alès. The Association is a network with a people-centred approach numbering over 150 professionals from the commercial, tourism and cultural sectors, based from Le Puy-en-Velay to Alès. They own accommodation and restaurants, hire out donkeys, organise your holiday, supply cultural speakers and hiking guides, manage cultural sites, transport people and luggage, run shops and provide services. They are all located on or near the Trail. In this brochure, you ll find all the details you need to prepare your adventure in the way that suits you best!

Towards responsible tourism Whether you are a long-distance walker or just a short-term visitor, you can play your part in the conservation of these invaluable treasures if you abide by some common sense rules. You can thereby contribute to the protection of the environment, the natural heritage, the local population and its activities, and your fellow-walkers. Your tolerant and eco-friendly attitude will ensure that future generations will find this countryside in the same condition as it was when Stevenson discovered it over a century ago. Robert Louis Stevenson, avant-garde hiker! On 22 September 1878, the young Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson left 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-Jeandu-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 The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. This book has made it possible to trace his route, which has since become the Stevenson Trail (GR 70 Le Chemin de Stevenson). This marked public hiking trail enables walkers to follow in the footsteps of the Francophile Scottish adventurer. The 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. Tailor-made trip Whether you decide to walk the whole way or only a few stages, make sure you plan your trip well in advance! This brochure aims to give you all the necessary information so that you can plan your trip to suit your wishes, either by organizing it yourself or by using the skills and experience of a professional. You will find a map at the end of this brochure to help you visualize the route, and a list of all logos on the back. The Association has brought together a large number of professionals to meet your expectations. For more information on what they have to offer, 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 horseback there are so many different ways to discover the Stevenson Trail! Useful tips The Stevenson Trail is a mid-altitude trail. Even though it does not present any particular dangers (dizzyingly steep sections, etc.), it is nonetheless a wilderness trail: often stony, at times muddy, and consisting of a succession of uphill and downhill stretches with at times substantial changes in altitude, which require hikers to be in good physical shape. Hikers must wear appropriate footwear for walking on the uneven ground and be equipped according to the weather forecast. They must also set off with food and water reserves that are adapted to the hike. Whilst the Stevenson Trail is way-marked, it crosses many GR, and you will need a guidebook and/or maps to orientate yourself properly. 3

In Stevenson s tracks across Europe Brought up in a well-to-do Scottish bourgeois family, Robert Louis Stevenson like many another young Briton of his social class travelled frequently in Europe, participating in the so-called grand tour which gave rise to the notion of tourism. In search of healthy air for his respiratory illness, he and his family stayed in health resorts and spas, notably at Hyères and Menton in southern France as well as Bad Godesburg in Germany and Davos in Switzerland. As an adult he undertook a trip through Belgium and northern France by sailing canoe, down the rivers and canals from Antwerp to Pontoise near Paris. In the artists colonies of the forest of Fontainebleau he met Fanny, the love of his life; then he crossed the Cevennes on foot with the donkey Modestine. He drew inspiration for his writing from landscapes in Britain too, such as Bristol and its docks for Treasure Island, or the Lothian region and especially North Berwick and the Edinburgh of his childhood, and the Scottish Highlands, the setting for his famous novel Kidnapped In all these places, Stevenson s work and memory live on thanks to devoted and passionate admirers and their many and varied actions museums, audio trails using mobile apps, cycleways, walking trails, canoe and riverboat trips where you may encounter the author in a range of different ways, including a board game. The places and regions associated with Stevenson s life and work have come together to create the association In the Footsteps of Robert Louis Stevenson, which is one of the Council of Europe s designated European Cultural Routes. www.rlstevenson-europe.org Long Distance Trails in France, the most beautiful hikes France is criss-crossed by long distance footpaths. From the Vosges to the Pyrenees, from Brittany to the Mediterranean, crossing the Massif Central and the Alps, they provide many ways of discovering the variety of landscapes and heritage of France s regions, on foot, along these trails. The association On the RL Stevenson Trail works in a network with those who manage other hiking routes throughout the Massif Central and across France, and alongside the French Ramblers Federation, to share our promotional activities and to exchange experience and good practice, so that we can all improve the welcome we offer to ramblers, the upkeep of our footpaths, the presentation of our heritage, and accessibility for all Discover other Long Distance Walking Trails!

Hiking Trips with Donkeys If you are travelling with a donkey, your furry friend will try you, even though it will be better trained than Modestine. A donkey can be obedient but is above all an intelligent creature who will adapt to whoever is leading it. This is why children should only lead with the help of an adult at first. A donkey is then the ideal companion: gentle and friendly, 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 left 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!

Please note that accommodation providers prefer to welcome hikers after 4 p.m. If you wish to arrive earlier in the day, please remember that you must alert your hosts in advance. Thank you. The accommodation you choose for evening meals and overnight stays during your hike will mainly be of the family kind. These establishments rarely conform to the rules of the urban hospitality trade. Whilst the personal welcome must be of a consistently high quality, you should not expect hotel norms. This is the charm of such places. The following maps highlight the four different geographical areas. However, please note the maps are only intended to help you decide on where to stop and stay. They are not meant to replace the relevant ordnance-survey type maps, which will be essential. But it is at night, and after dinner, that the best hour comes ( ). If the evening be fine and warm, there is nothing better in life than to lounge before the inn door in the sunset ( ).

Identification of villages on the Stevenson Trail The local authorities which provide financial support for the Association VILL AGE SUR LE CHEMIN D E ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON Graphic design Elsa Lescure Several municipalities on the GR 70 had asked the Stevenson Association to identify them as being on the Stevenson Trail. To standardize publicity materials, the Association took the initiative of producing a common pictorial representation that strengthens the image of the areas crossed by the Trail for locals, visitors and hikers alike. In collaboration with the municipalities, new signposts are springing up along the Trail. The Association is grateful to the Trail municipalities for their cooperation and involvement in this project.

Information on bedbugs The bedbug is an insect with a flattened 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, particularly at night. Their 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. That 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 preventative 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 effects (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 accommodation provider - When reserving accommodation, do not hesitate to ask the owners whether they preventatively treat their bedrooms, and if so, how. As the day goes on, the traveller moves from the one extreme towards the other. He becomes more and more incorporated with the material landscape, and the open-air drunkenness grows upon him with great strides, until he posts along the road, and sees everything about him, as in a cheerful dream. 47 61

2,5 Km I have been after an adventure all my life, a pure dispassionate adventure, such as befell early and heroic voyagers; and thus to be found by morning in a random woodside nook in Gevaudan -not knowing north from south, as strange to my surroundings as the first man upon the earth, an inland castaway- was to find a fraction of my day-dreams realised.
