Mende is the most important town in the Lozère department. It is a truly ancient city, as its foundation dates back to 200 years BC. Its many medieval buildings are its reputation. You can discover, among other things, its superb cathedral which has the strange peculiarity of having unequal bell towers.
The town owes its wealth in part to its production of draperies, and thus becomes an important commercial crossroads between the Languedoc and Auvergne regions. I particularly like its fountain with its massive stone ball rolling on itself in the water.
