HIKING WITH A DONKEY
Walking on the Santiago Path, following Stevenson in the Cévennes or getting wild in the heart of the Templars Land.
4 days / 3 nights - from 250.00€ per personne
 

You depart from a B&B where you meet your donkey and learn what it likes, how it prefers to have the packsaddle on. The donkey is an excellent way to walk with children since it carries your luggage and it is a very good fellow traveller!
Please note that your donkey carries a maximum of 40 kg, so pack your luggage in accordance if you think that one child will need to be put on its back at the end of the walking day.

During your hike you walk either along the Santiago Path, through St Guilhem le Désert (UNESCO heritage) or you follow Stevenson on his way through the Cevennes or you walk within the Templars Land and visit a wild area where stands a strange fortified city. Everywhere, you are right in the heart of a Mediteranean landscape and flora: limestone plateau, evergreen oaks, thyme, wild lavender, asphodels ...
