48 Lozère
Region: Occitanie
Lozère is the least populated department in France, a highland land of silence, space, and natural majesty. It’s a paradise for walkers, nature lovers, and those seeking complete tranquillity.
Mende, the capital, is a compact and handsome town set in the Lot valley. Florac, Marvejols, and Saint-Chély-d’Apcher are small towns with local charm, set amidst forests, rivers, and rocky plateaus.
The landscapes are stunning: Gorges du Tarn, the Aubrac Plateau, and the Cévennes mountains provide endless space for hiking, star-gazing, and solitude. Traditional life and transhumance are still very present.
Property includes stone farmhouses, remote cottages, and village homes, often with land and open views. Prices are low, the air is clean, and life is wonderfully slow.
