Langogne

Highlight • Bridge

Langogne is at the heart of many sites perfect for hiking and outdoor activities. It is a territory with a thousand facets, in the middle of Margeride, a few steps from Lake Naussac and the Haut-Allier gorges.

The town is also home to some cultural gems that are worth a visit such as the Chastanier sacred art museum, the thousand-year-old city of Langogne or the Filature des Calquières museum.

Lovely terrace to enjoy in peace. But in high season it will be a madhouse. So go there in the early or late season!

Mazan Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

Etymology: comes from Mas d’Adam, the name of the old estate that was located on the site of the current village, which was ceded by the lord of Géorant to the bishop of Viviers to allow him to found the abbey of Mazan.

It all begins with the foundation of the Cistercian abbey in the heart of the village. This takes place between 1119 and 1122. At the beginning of the 12th century, canons came to settle on the site of Mas d’Adam (a toponym that would evolve into MAZAN), and were joined by monks from the abbey of Bonnevaux.

These religious men built a huge abbey, of which only the remains exist today, which experienced a period of apogee that lasted until the Hundred Years' War. It gave birth to four other abbeys which are Bonneval, Sénanque, Sylvanès and le Thoronet as well as establishments for nuns.

After this prosperous period, misfortunes followed one another at the abbey of Mazan: it was plundered by the great companies of the Hundred Years' War, then attacked by the Huguenots in the modern period.

Before this last looting, the monks, according to legend, would have melted a golden bell with all their treasures, which they would have buried somewhere, facing and opposite the bull's-eye window, within earshot of the rooster's crow.

Lac d’Issarlès

Highlight • Lake

Beautiful mountain lake in a region with many marked hiking trails. There is a beach on the north shore where swimming is monitored in July/August. Due to the altitude the water is always a bit fresh...
