On 23rd September 1878, Stevenson set out on an 11 day tour of the Cervennes with his recalcitrant donkey, Modestine, following completion of his writings in the French town of Monastier. His natural affinity for France, his appreciation of its landscape, and his enthusiasm for the French way of life as well as his account of the conflict between the Protestants and Roman Catholics is beautifully captured.
