    Hiking

    Pic Cassini, with its 1,681 meters of altitude, is the second summit of Mont Lozère. Its name is a tribute to the Cassini family of scientists who, in four generations and thanks to triangulation, established in 1744 the first precise map of the kingdom of France: the first Cassini map.

    The summit, then named Belle Coste summit, served (among other French summits) as a geodesic point. The triangle-shaped structure is also reminiscent of the pyramidal observation structures used by cartographers.
