The Stevenson trail

Le Velay

A soft, colorful blend of small volcanic reliefs and high agricultural plateaus. On one side, fields of green lentils, on the other, small stone walls seem to want to organize the landscape by underlining each pasture. In the middle of this green countryside, the lava gives the hamlets their red and black colors, and the Loire meanders quietly adding its touch of blue.

The Gévaudan

A legendary land where small valleys welcome wild forests lit by pastures and marshes, where silence hints at the murmur of numerous streams and moss carpets invite you to rest. Until the scent of raspberries and birch together awakens all the senses.

Le Mont Lozère

A strange bare massif, dotted with rounded granite chaos and punctuated by numerous fresh springs. A land in its own right, where broom intoxicates spring itself, and purple heather and blue bilberries herald late summer. At the summit of Finiels, time inevitably stands still for every traveler, leaving the eyes the pleasure of running from the Alps to the Pyrenees. The force of the place then inevitably permeates the hiker’s entire body before pushing him towards the blue volutes of the famous Cévennes.

The Cévennes

Deep and luminous at once, the Cévennes valleys gently invite you to idleness, to the nonchalance of midday. Schist paths glide through chestnut forests, plunging down to refreshing rivers before reaching the sun-drenched summits. Lauzes gradually give way to tiles on the roofs, and every little village you pass through has its own stories to tell, in exchange for yours of course.
