Mont Mouchet, like many other isolated and wild places in France (whether for example the Vercors plateau or the Albion plateau) served as a maquis for resistance fighters during the Second World War.
It culminates at 1,497 meters in the Margeride massif. It offers very beautiful views of the unspoiled landscape that surrounds it.
It borders three very sparsely populated departments of France: Haute-Loire, Cantal and Lozère.
Mont Mouchet, at 1,497 meters in the heart of Margeride, is a high place of the Resistance during the 2nd World War. It was notably the scene in June 1944 of the Battle of Mont Mouchet. Nowadays, a memorial and a museum pay homage to the Resistance fighters of this maquis.
