Chanac

Highlight • Other

This town has the particularity of having on its land many megaliths from the Neolithic era, mainly dolmens.

Chanac also has a magnificent keep which dates from the 13th century. A red and gold Occitan flag flies at its top. You can't miss it!

Inquire at the town hall of the village for more details.

Mende

Highlight • Settlement

Mende is the most important town in the Lozère department. It is a truly ancient city, as its foundation dates back to 200 years BC. Its many medieval buildings are its reputation. You can discover, among other things, its superb cathedral which has the strange peculiarity of having unequal bell towers.

The town owes its wealth in part to its production of draperies, and thus becomes an important commercial crossroads between the Languedoc and Auvergne regions. I particularly like its fountain with its massive stone ball rolling on itself in the water.
