Finally! A trip to the Cévennes

Looking out from a viewpoint on the road to Mont Aigoual

 The other day we took off on a spontaneous expedition. Our goal was the Cévennes, a mountainous area north of Montpellier. 

The Cevennes is well known in France. There's a national park, for one thing; Robert Louis Stevenson wrote a book about it,  Travels with a Donkey through the Cévennes, an account of his hike through the area with his donkey, Modestine. in 1879. But somehow, actually experiencing it ourselves has escaped us.
