Saint-Germain-de-Calberte

Saint-Germain-de-Calberte (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ ʒɛʁmɛ̃ də kalbɛʁt]; Occitan: Sent German de Calbèrta) is a commune in the Lozère department in southern France.

[3] The Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson stayed at an inn in the village on the night of 1 October 1878, as recounted in his book Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes: At a certain point, as I went downward, turning many acute angles, the moon disappeared behind the hill; and I pursued my way in great darkness, until another turning shot me without preparation into St. Germain de Calberte.

Only from a single open door, some lamplight escaped upon the road to show me I was come among men's habitations.

The two last gossips of the evening, still talking by a garden wall, directed me to the inn.

The landlady was getting her chicks to bed; the fire was already out, and had, not without grumbling, to be rekindled; half an hour later, and I must have gone supperless to roost.
