Lozère: what to see and do
50 sites listed in the département. The least populated département in France, the Lozère offers exceptional wild spaces between the Gorges du Tarn, the UNESCO-listed causses and the Cévennes National Park. This area of low mountains embodies authenticity and fresh air in their purest form.
