GR 70
Although it is not on the formal route, many hikers begin at Le-Puy-en-Velay and walk to Le Monastier-sur-Gazeille via a section of the GR 430. Similarly, many walkers continue beyond the official end-point of Saint-Jean-du-Gard to Alès via sections of the GR 61 and GR 44 D. Both of these cities have railway stations.
The route was formally adopted by the Fédération Française de la Randonnée Pédestre (French Hiking Federation) in 1994, and by 2007 an estimated 6000 hikers walked its full length each year. A dedicated organisation, the Association Sur Le Chemin de Robert Louis Stevenson, promotes the trail and maintains an accommodation list.
