This stage may involve significant changes to the GR®70 signposting, as Stevenson actually stopped at Saint-Jean-du-Gard on his journey.

A superb hike with beautiful views. A very difficult start on a large scree slope, then a gentle climb. Yellow markings a few times, then meeting the Stevenson Trail, then no more markings, then again, and a difficult finish for ankles and knees.
