Lozere is a French department located in the Occitanie region, in the south of the country. It is known for its varied landscapes that range from mountains to deep valleys. The department is primarily mountainous, with the Central Massif traversing it. The highest point is Mont Lozere, reaching an altitude of 1,699 meters. Lozere is crossed by several rivers, including the Tarn, Chassezac, Allier, and Lot, which have sculpted impressive gorges such as the Gorges du Tarn. Lozere is characterized by picturesque villages, isolated hamlets, and traditional stone architecture. The houses are often dispersed due to the mountainous terrain and low population density. The region is also known for its protected natural areas, such as the Cevennes National Park, which attracts nature lovers. Agriculture in Lozere is primarily focused on livestock farming, particularly sheep and cattle farming. The production of cheese, such as Tome, Roquefort, and Pelardon, is a cornerstone of the local economy. Sustainable agriculture and environmentally friendly practices are increasingly encouraged to preserve the landscapes and biodiversity. Farmers in Lozere mainly cultivate cereals (wheat, barley, corn), vegetables (potatoes, carrots), fruits (apples, pears), as well as fodder for livestock, while increasingly shifting towards organic farming. Lozere is home to rich and varied biodiversity. The forests, meadows, and wetlands provide habitat for many animal and plant species. Lozere offers a vast network of hiking trails, allowing exploration of its diverse landscapes, spectacular gorges, and picturesque villages while discovering the richness of its natural and cultural heritage.
