Saint-Julien-d'Arpaon stands at a crossing of the river Mimente on the Robert Louis Stevenson Trail (GR 70), a popular long-distance path following approximately the route travelled by Robert Louis Stevenson in 1878 and described in his book Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes.[4] Stevenson mentions the village and its ruined chateau in passing, though not by name:

...the road passed hard by two black hamlets, one with an old castle atop to please the heart of the tourist.[5]
