La Bastide-Puylaurent (French pronunciation: [la bastid pɥiloʁɑ̃]; Occitan: Puèglaurenç) is a commune in the Lozère department in southern France.
The Trappist monastery Notre-Dame-des-Neiges (Our Lady of the Snows), visited by Robert Louis Stevenson in 1878 and described in his book Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes, is about one and a half miles east of the village, in the Ardèche department. The Robert Louis Stevenson Trail (GR 70), a popular long-distance path approximately following Stevenson's journey, runs through the village.[3]
