Saint-Chély-d'Apcher and its surrounding area are a must-see. You can come and stroll along the ramparts and through the ancient streets of the historic center, and admire the statues of the Beast of Gévaudan. Foodies can stock up on local products in the many small shops.

Superb view of the Garabit viaduct, allowing you to cross the Truyère gorges. This metal structure, created by Gustave Eiffel, is 565 meters long and rises to 122 meters above the water. It was at one time the “highest viaduct in the world”!

Aumont-Aubrac has many stories relating to the Beast of Gévaudan. This ferocious beast is at the origin of a series of attacks against humans that occurred between 1764 and 1767 in Gévaudan in Lozère. The legend remains intact. Still, a beautiful weather vane representing the animal is located in the city center. If you are a lover of good food, then I recommend that you reserve a table at chef Cyril Attrazic's Michelin-starred gourmet restaurant. You will have the choice between a starred restaurant, but in the same establishment, the chef also runs a brasserie and a bistro. There is something for all budgets. It's quite unexpected to find such gastronomic diversity in such a small village. Aumont-Aubrac is also one of the key places in Lozère to taste this extraordinary dish that is aligot (mashed potatoes mixed with fresh tomme cheese).
