Then it’s the turn of the Gévaudan to amaze you with its valleys, forests and marshes. The journey takes you to the heart of the Velay region and its colourful landscapes that combine volcanic reliefs and agricultural plateaus. In that vein, this Collection presents the Stevenson Trail, a great hike that covers 279 kilometres (173 mi). Just ask one of the greatest writers of adventure novels, who crossed the current GR 70 in 12 days with his stubborn donkey, Modestine. Do you want to live a great adventure on the level of Treasure Island? No need to voyage to the middle of the ocean, there’s already enough to keep you busy in Metropolitan France. ![]()
