#travel with a donkey in the cévennes

[uwmspeccoll]

It's Fine Press Friday!

This week's fine-press highlight is Travels in the Cévennes, written and illustrated by the French-based British artist and illustrator Peter Allen (b. 1948), printed in an edition of 150 copies set in 14-point Cochin on Arches mould-made paper at the Whittington Press in Risbury, Herefordshire, England, in 1998. The illustrations, some with linocut keylines, were pochoir-colored by the artist.

The book is an engaging modern travel diary, recording a journey Allen made in the footsteps of Robert Louis Stevenson, who famously recorded his experiences in Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes in 1879. The bright and playful stencil-colored illustrations vividly capture the highlights of the journey.

O Meu Burro, O Meu Amante e Eu

(Antoinette dans les Cévennes)

F, 2020

Caroline Vignal

7/10

Caminho de Burro

Uma comédia que toma a viagem como uma metáfora da vida, quase como um Road Movie, mas de burro pelas belas paisagens campestres de Cévennes. A grande diferença para o típico Road Movie é que o caminho aqui é construtivo, convida à reflexão, ao gozo da vida, do momento, da companhia, e não destrutivo, niilista, terminal, como sucede na viagem de carro, pelo alcatrão.

Laure Calamy tem uma presença distinta, agradável e descontraída, quase sensual. Também o burro Patrick adquire um protagonismo inesperado como o companheiro improvável nesta viagem de auto-conhecimento e de reequilíbrio vital, no contacto com a natureza e a vida animal.

Um filme agradável e surpreendente, na medida em em oferece mais do que aquilo que promete.

Donkey Path

A comedy that takes the journey as a metaphor for life, almost like a Road Movie, but on a donkey, through the beautiful countryside of the Cévennes. The big difference, to the typical Road Movie, is that the path here is constructive, invites reflection, the enjoyment of life, the moment, the company, and not destructive, nihilistic, terminal, as happens when traveling by car on the tarmac.

Laure Calamy has a distinct presence, pleasant and relaxed, almost sensual. Patrick, the donkey, also acquires an unexpected role, as the unlikely companion on this journey of self-knowledge and vital rebalancing, in contact with nature and animal life.

A pleasant and surprising film, insofar as it offers more than what it promises.

Hiking In France-- An Overview Of Ideal Trails.

Several cross country GR routes weave the region and a variety of much shorter hiking tracks give accessibility to spectacular landscapes. We are led by a 'Hiking for All' point of view, underpinned by an idea in the physical and also mental benefits of walking. Also fascinating are the trails in the Luberon Mountains of Provence, which link picturesque, historic towns. In the footprints of Robert Louis-- GR 70 -stevenson.org (Outside link). This year noted the 130th wedding anniversary of Robert Louis Stevenson's released account of his go through the Cévennes Mountains. With his donkey, he covered 252 km from Puy-en-Valley to Alès in 12 days. The origin of the trip returns to the 10th century as well as was the topic of the first medieval travel guide, the Codex Calixtinus! The Jura Mountains appear to take place permanently, however, these wooded rolling hills stretch for about 250 kilometres along the France-Switzerland boundary. Travel for holidays Make sure you discover the strolling courses to see all that this area has to offer, consisting of waterfalls, lakes, gorges and also picturesque towns. The Nietzsche Course on the French Riviera supplies a tough hillside walking with remarkable seaside panoramas. . This is a literally requiring path, with about 9,000 meters of cumulative altitude gain as well as loss throughout the duration of the hike. Consequently, it is recommended that hikers remain in excellent physical shape prior to the trek. The psychological trouble, nevertheless, is fairly low, as the trail is fairly hectic as well as well significant throughout the hiking period. It is also possible to quit at the countless gîtes, or havens, along the way for a treat or coffee break mid-day. It may be tough to find info or topo guides for many routes. The exact route - not just the name "GR" - of any hiking trail in France is copyrighted by the FFRP as well as can not be released by others without their consent. But, in contrast to what I would certainly thought, La Tomb isn't practically skiing. In summertime, when the snow begins to thaw, surface that is unattainable to anybody without ropes, skis or crampons opens, with 668km of kept routes extending the Ecrins national park. You can keep it basic with field trip, stay overnight in a mountain refuge, or (as of last summer) bed down in a standard Mongolian yurt-- on a farm at the end of the valley, a gentle two-and-a-half-hour leave. The Grandes Randonnées are a series of far away strolling tracks throughout France. The GR walkways aren't restricted to France and also weave throughout Europe, generally discovered in Belgium, the Netherlands and also Spain. , if you are looking for long distance treks the Grandes Randonnées is definitely worth looking right into. . The full Trip du Mount Blanc is a stunning breathtaking path, yet with over 10 kilometres of accents and descents along the road, it can be a challenging walking. Today, the most popular of the four French paths is the Via Podensis or GR 65. It connects Geneva to the Roncevaux hillside in the Basque nation as well as goes through the Puy-en-Velay, Conques as well as Figeac. As well as if you desire to connect delicately with various other hikers along the route, ask us which routes are the very best for such sociability. Hiking in France can indicate extremely different things to various individuals. Some desire to leave to the remote French countryside and also enjoy difficult full-day walking that presses them to the limitation.

The Cévennes is a mountain range in which European country?

The Cévennes is a range of mountains in south-central France that runs from the Cause Noire in the southwest to Monts du Vivarais towards the northeast. It forms part of the Massif Central, a highland region that covers 15% of mainland France. The area has been inhabited since 400,000 BCE and originally had the name Cebenna until Julius Caesar Latinised the name in 52 BCE.

The highest point of the Cévennes is Mont Lozère, which reaches 1,699 metres (5,574 ft) above sea level. The mountains are formed of granite and metamorphic rocks, with some sections dating back to the Triassic period, around 200 million years ago.

At the beginning of the 16th century, the Cévennes became the home of French Protestants, also called the Huguenots, who were persecuted by the Catholic Church. The mountainous area allowed them to worship secretly in forests and caves. In the 21st century, the area remains mostly inhabited by Protestant Christians. Descendants of the original Huguenots reportedly include American actor Johnny Depp and British actor Laurence Olivier.

During the 19th century, Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson visited the Cévennes. He recorded his experiences in his book 'Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes', published in 1879.

By Gregory David Roberts

Shantaram is set in the underworld of contemporary India, where an escaped convict from Australia named Lin is hiding out. He searches for love while running a clinic in one of the city’s poorest slums and simultaneously working for the Bombay mafia.

It’s one of the best written novels I’ve read, and sucks you right into an amazing story full of love, beauty, betrayal, brutality, and compassion. The book has been criticized for being more fiction than fact, however I still highly recommend it as a great travel book. It’s incredibly entertaining and thought-provoking either way.

Ok now that we’ve got some of my favorite travel novels out of the way, I also wanted to include some more useful travel books in the list too. Books to help you travel cheaper, better, or show you how to travel more!

Vagabonding

Vagabonding is what encouraged me to put my real life on hold to backpack around the world for a bit. This book is essentially about the process behind taking time off from your regular life to discover and experience the world on your own terms.

I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to travel more, but thinks they don’t have enough money or time.

Coming from a fellow travel blogger, I’ve got to give Kepnes (also known as Nomadic Matt) props for his New York Times bestselling book How To Travel The World On $50 A Day. Matt knows what he’s talking about, and it shows as much in this book as it does on his blog.

He goes into detail on how he’s stayed on the move for so long on a shoestring budget, with tips and tricks coming to life through relatable stories. Also seeping through the pages is a heavy dose of modesty, a necessity when venturing off the beaten path abroad.

World’s Cheapest Destinations

By Tim Leffel

The thought that exotic travel has to break the bank is an assumption as sad as it is untrue, and Leffel proves it in The World’s Cheapest Destinations. Active storytelling and honest facts on not only where to go but how to travel once you get there are the driving factor here.

The key takeaway from this book is that proper research and planning, along with a willingness to see a culture for what it really is, can save you a fortune. Oh, and don’t hesitate to bargain – just be respectful when you do so.

Lunel is a commune in the Hérault region in southern France.

According to legend, Lunel was founded by Jews from Jericho in the first century AD. It has a Jewish population in the first millennium, and an ancient synagogue is located there.

[toc]

1. AMBRUSSUM ARCHEOLOGY SITE

We walk 7km from Lunel to the location along a beautiful trail, but it can be reached by car. While the bridge has been subdued before the forces of the river and only one arch leaves the city wall and some remnants of the building let visitors know about a sizable town.

The best part is that the cobbled streets around town are interesting to walk for two reasons; it was part of a road that led from Rome, through France and down to southern Spain, built in the B.C. century, and it still had trenches of countless strollers and vehicles of the time.

We don't bother with the museum because the whole site is a big outdoor screen.

2. LES PETITS FERMIERS

Come and discover a unique park to enjoy for the whole family, in Lansargues, 15 minutes from Montpellier. -The gardens: walk-in organic vegetables and herbs-Farms: come and see our donkeys, goats, lamas and horseback riding ...

Since 2017 JUMPING SPACE with 5 giant inflatable games. Shaded areas of the picnic are fitted out. Possibility of catering to the snack bar.

3. TERAVENTURE, PARC JEUX ANIMATIONS

A father traveling. I knew this park from the beginning, where we waited for the bushes forming the maze to develop. The promised place ..... 4 items later, nothing is maintained. Certainly, a piece of wood, water, and our children are having fun.

I don't have the recklessness of our little blond hair, but we can clearly see the letting go of responsible people. If it's to add a new attraction on one side and let others die in the rain and the sun, what cares?

The season is over. Straighten Dedale fences, cut fences, change topics, arrange games (inside and outside) or transfer them once and for all and remove all these insulators from the floor (fabric type, you are arrested).

Throw away / replace the board game - broken, missing parts. CLOSE your mini-farm, mini farm, mini farm - a shame, especially for animals. And ........ the list and length ....... you have a golden love affair - At work !!!!

4. ROC DE MASSEREAU

Roc of Massereau is a treetop adventure park located in Sommières on the banks of the river, in a natural environment in the Natura 2000 area of 15 evolutionary courses with more than 45 zip lines including 3 of More than 200 m cross the river, the feeling is guaranteed !!

200 studios, sports and playful equipped on-line of continuous life, for the safety of all, to satisfy of the smallest until the most rash, in a wood in the remarkable trees. And also rent of stand(pit) up paddle, orienteering race. Space out picnic fitted out.

5. RIVIERA SHOW

It was a tavern performing transfiguration dinner. It is a place for mandatory introductions. The artists, staff super pleasant, friendly. Have a great atmosphere. Meals made by a very good and rich waiter. So don't hesitate, you have to go !!!!

6. BOUTIQUE DECO CADEAUX

A friendly welcome to a small tea room upstairs very nice furniture, full of decoration ideas, I really like coconut tea and kindness of those present, ideal for meeting friends, 's for a meeting appointment, and choose a new decor. Thanks for your goodness.

This beat some of the 5-star hotels we have stayed in. Bedrooms and bathrooms are beautifully designed and comfortable. Many seats, beautiful ambient light. Comfortable bed and good linen. Coffee maker. Breakfast is basic but pleasant. Surrounded by beautiful countryside and horses. Will definitely stay.

We open doors to share your passion in an authentic and typical Camargue setting. Come and discover our habits and customs during an educational visit in our pasture among the bulls. We will also welcome you for private organizations, families (baptism, birthdays, weddings), associations and corporate receptions.

From the Camargue to the Cevennes, passing by the Pic Saint loup and many vineyards, we offer bike hikes with different levels and maybe tasting wine. Enjoy with your family or your friends!
