The Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson ate in the village on the evening of 28 September 1878 before camping nearby, as recounted in his book Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes.[3] The Robert Louis Stevenson Trail (GR 70), a popular long-distance path following Stevenson's approximate route, runs through the village, and a three-day "Festival Stevenson" is held in the area annually. The nearby Mont Lozère is a ski resort.[4]
