Le Monastier-sur-Gazeille

Le Monastier-sur-Gazeille (French pronunciation: [lə mɔnastje syʁ ɡazɛj]; Occitan: Lo Monestier de Gaselha) is a commune in the Haute-Loire department in south-central France.

The official start of the Robert Louis Stevenson Trail (GR 70), a popular long-distance path, is at Place de la Poste in the centre of the village, marked by a plaque.

Stevenson spent about a month in Le Monastier before setting off on his travels, as recounted in Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes.
