Where to find the treasures of Lozère?
The Cévennes National Park: unspoilt nature and wide open spaces
The Tarn Gorges, Aven Armand, Dargilan Cave and the medieval village of Sainte-Enimie are among the iconic sites of the unmissable Cévennes National Park. A true haven of unspoilt nature, the park reveals wild and contrasting landscapes, shaped by centuries of pastoralism: vast pastures, ancient chestnut groves, heathland, oak, beech and fir forests make up a spectacular setting, ideal for superb hiking, cycling or horse riding. When you stay at a campsite, you can fully enjoy this immersion in the heart of nature, close to the trails and panoramic views. Don't miss a visit to Florac Castle, which now houses the Cévennes National Park Visitor Centre and a museum dedicated to its history, landscapes and traditions. Listed as a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, the park is a refuge for a wealth of flora and fauna, dotted with streams, torrents and rivers with crystal-clear waters: an exceptional playground for lovers of nature, authenticity and wide open spaces.
Aven Armand, an underground wonder in the heart of Lozère
Dive beneath the Causse Méjean to discover Aven Armand, one of the most spectacular caves in the Cévennes National Park: after an original descent by funicular railway to more than 100 metres underground, you arrive in a huge natural chamber where nearly 400 stalagmites sculpted by time rise up, some of them over 30 metres high, in a magical atmosphere of light that captivates young and old alike from the very first moment. The cave is open every year during the season, usually from April to November, with guided tours several times a day. Outside this period, it is closed to the public, making the tourist season the ideal time to organise your outing from your campsite in Lozère. The tour lasts about an hour and is accessible to children aged 5 and over for the classic route. Children under 5 enter free of charge, making it a fun and educational activity for the whole family (please note, however, that the underground temperature is cool all year round — around 12°C — so remember to wrap up warm). To get the most out of the experience, booking is highly recommended during the high season. On site, you'll find convenient services such as a reception area, a shop and a café to extend your moment of discovery.
Wide open spaces, panoramic views and pure nature on Mont Lozère
An iconic granite massif in the Cévennes National Park, bordered by limestone plateaus and schist areas, Mont Lozère rises to an altitude of nearly 1,700 metres, with the summit of Finiels as its highest point: its three orientation tables offer spectacular views of the Cévennes, the Aubrac and sometimes even the Alps on a clear day. This wide-open space is characterised by a mosaic of windswept plateaus dotted with Maltese crosses and menhirs – notably at the remarkable site of Cham des Bondons, one of the largest megalithic sites in Europe – deep, wooded valleys and lofty ridges ideal for contemplation. In winter, Mont Lozère changes its appearance and becomes a natural playground with a resort offering Nordic skiing, sledging and dog sledding in an authentic, family-friendly atmosphere. In fine weather, the hamlets of L'Hôpital, Mas Camargues and Bellecoste serve as starting points for several circuits exploring the natural and pastoral heritage, making Mont Lozère a destination of choice for hikers in search of peace and quiet, wide horizons and unspoilt landscapes.
Dargilan Cave, the underground cathedral of the Cévennes
Located near Meyrueis, the Dargilan cave is considered to be the largest developed cave in the Cévennes and Grands Causses, a spectacular site that has been listed since 1941. Discovered by chance at the end of the 19th century by a shepherd chasing a fox, it now offers an underground tour of around one kilometre, punctuated by grandiose chambers with impressive volumes. Throughout the tour, stalactites, stalagmites, draperies and columns follow one another in an astonishing palette of natural colours, enhanced by careful lighting. The highlight of the tour is the famous large petrified waterfall, a veritable wall of calcite frozen in time, which leaves visitors speechless. Easily accessible and ideal for families, the Dargilan cave offers a fascinating immersion into the underground world, perfect for a camping holiday in Lozère.
A fascinating encounter with the lord of the forests at the Gévaudan Wolf Park
In the heart of the Aubrac Regional Nature Park, on the historic lands of the former province of Gévaudan, the Gévaudan Wolf Park offers a unique immersion into the little-known world of this emblematic animal. Set in a vast natural space, the park is home to around 130 wolves living in semi-freedom, from different regions of the world such as Poland, Canada, Mongolia and Siberia, allowing visitors to discover several subspecies and behaviours. The tour, led by a specialist keeper-guide, allows visitors to observe the wolves in their environment and learn more about their way of life, social organisation and essential role in ecosystems. Both educational and impressive, this outing is an unmissable activity for families during a stay in Lozère, and helps to shed a more accurate light on an animal that is too often the victim of legends and preconceived ideas.
The authentic flavours of Lozère
Lozère can also be discovered through its generous cuisine, deeply rooted in the region and inherited from rural and pastoral traditions. Among the must-try dishes is Pélardon, a small AOP goat's cheese with a strong character that expresses all the richness of the Cévennes scrubland, while Bleu des Causses, with its blue-veined, melt-in-the-mouth texture, reveals powerful aromas from the natural cellars of the Causse. When it comes to iconic dishes, it's impossible to overlook aligot, a tasty mixture of mashed potatoes, fresh tome cheese and garlic, whose stringy and comforting texture delights food lovers after a day in the open air. Finally, Cévennes honey, renowned for its great floral diversity — chestnut, heather, mountain flowers — delicately rounds off this culinary discovery. This authentic and flavourful cuisine, which can be enjoyed in local inns, at markets or directly from producers, is an integral part of the identity and charm of Lozère.
