Tips

Hiking

The bell towers of Tourmente are emblematic buildings on Mont Lozère. Although they are no longer in use, they have saved many lives since they rang night and day during bad weather, allowing travelers to find their way around. This was particularly the case in fog or blizzard weather (called storms).
The bell tower of Oultet has the particularity of being built on the old communal oven.
