[QUOTE="Former member 104756, post: 1105733"] Hi [USER=43536]@Suzanne A[/USER] Bonjour I agree ... the Chemin du Stevenson (Stevenson Way) is 'beautiful, magnifique' as [USER=39426]@BlackRocker57[/USER] says. We walked 9 days from Le Puy en Velay to Saint Jean du Gard and, due to time constraints, the next morning took a bus to Ales. While it is a relatively short path, I think it is one of the more challenging we have walked in terms of 'up and down' - and we have walked the Le Puy, Primitivo, Norte and Salvador among others. We LOVED it. We enjoyed some wonderful and quirky accommodation. My fondest memory of accommodation was on the third night - at La Tartine de Modestine, L'Herm. We stayed in a converted train carriage, there were others in a yurt. It was delightful. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.tartine-modestine.com/[/URL] Though not recent -we walked in 2017 - it was also in May, starting on the 21st. As others have said, due to the many long weekends in May, there will likely be families or groups of friends walking in the area - and who could blame them. We set off from Le Puy without a thought of booking accommodation but soon realised we would need to book at least a day ahead as there were not a lot of options. Perhaps there is more accommodation now - I'm not sure. It's a delightful path, with some spectacular views and an interesting history of RL Stevenson and his donkey Modestine, which is referenced with signboards along the way. You will no doubt know he wrote about his journey in his book Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes. It was also a great excuse to revisit Le Puy en Velay. We didn't have a guidebook - the signage was good and the fabulous credenciale (photos below) included a stylised map, simple elevations and accommodation information. I highly recommend this fabulous route. Just thinking about it makes me want to walk it again so ... merci [USER=43536]@Suzanne A[/USER] Bon chemin. [/QUOTE]
