"Voyage à travers les Cévennes avec un âne" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a travel narrative published in June 1879. The Scottish writer recounts his twelve-day journey on foot through the Cévennes mountains in autumn 1878, accompanied only by a donkey named Modestine. Covering 120 miles from Le Monastier to Saint-Jean-du-Gard, Stevenson develops a bond with his reluctant companion while exploring the landscape and history of this Protestant region, including episodes from the Camisard wars.
