Robert Louis Stevenson Trail

[Jjkbb1]

Hi,
We are going to do our first walk and will start in the south of France at St Jean du Gard.
We will have our luggage transported from hotel to hotel. This looks like a pretty easy process to set up.
The hotels seem a bit harder to choose.
Can anyone share their list of hotels that they used on the RLT and let me know if there were any that you especially liked.

Thank you!

I led a group of 8 on the Chemin de Stevenson in June 2016. We used The Enlightened Traveller (also known as Walking Holidays in France) to book accommodation and transport packs each day. Our itinerary was:

Le Puy-en-Velay	Hotel Ibis Styles
Driven to Le Monastier -sur-Gazeille, walk to Le Bouchet-St-Nicolas	Auberge du Bon Accueil
To Pradelles	Hotel l'Arche
To Le Cheylard-L'Eveque	Refuge du Moure
To La Bastide-Puylaurent	Grande Halte
Rest day in La Bastide-Puylaurent	Grande Halte
To Chasseradès	Hotel des Sources
To Le Bleymard	Hotel La Remise
To Le Pont-de-Montvert	Hotel de Cévennes
To Florac	Hotel des Gorges du Tarn
To Cassagnas	L'Espace Stevenson
To St Germain-de-Calberte	Le Petit Calbertois
To St Jean-du-Gard	Hotel Les Bellugues

We were happy with all the 'hotels'. Have a great walk.

Attached is our itinerary from May, 2023. It includes places we stayed (mostly gites and some chambres d'hotes), as well as price information, recommendations on the places to stay and some places to visit, plus distances and elevation changes on each stage we walked. It also includes variants / shortcuts / long cuts we followed, because we were seeking to keep the stages to 15 - 20 k per day, plus in some cases, there was difficulty finding accommodations.

It's a wonderful trail! Bon chemin.
