The Stevenson Way (GR 70) was walked by Robert Louis Stevenson in 1878, and inspired him to write Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes (1879). That ground-breaking book is considered a classic of outdoor literature and set the standard for travelogues. Moreover, Stevenson was, in many ways, the pioneer of the whole modern hiking movement, as the book presents hiking and camping outdoors as a recreational activity.

This year is the 130th anniversary of the event and the GR 70 has become increasingly popular with hikers wishing to retrace the route Stevenson took. The walking tour fits comfortably into a fortnight’s holiday.
