Mountain Biking

What if your mountain bike could replace Modestine, Robert Louis Stevenson’s famous donkey? From Le-Puy-en-Velay to Saint-Jean-du-Gard, this mountain bike route follows in the footsteps of Robert-Louis Stevenson. It takes you over the volcanic hills of the Velay, the rugged highlands of the legendary Gévaudan, Mont Lozère and then the crests and valleys of the Cévenne des Camisards. A 250km mountain biking adventure which alternates between valleys, volcanic plateaus and forests, crossing villages filled with history, before taking some height and passing over the tops of the Goulet, Mont Lozère and the Bougès Massif. Finally, after some physically demanding climbs and pleasant descents, you arrive in Saint-Jean-du-Gard, just as Stevenson and Modestine did in 1878.
