In one of the best-preserved parts of the Margeride massif, the Three Sisters pass is said to have been named after the story of three sisters born in the parish of La Panouse, all three of whom were hired as servants in the local barracks. According to the dictionary of the rural world, these barracks refer to old inns located at the start of steep roads. This allowed the wagoners to reinforce their teams before setting off.

This magnificent trail crosses the high plateaus of Lozère with a proud appearance: it offers a compact earth surface with small stones and gravel. A real treat with superb panoramas as a backdrop.

Unexpected and yet very present! In the middle of this wild part of the Margeride massif you will find this superb washing and repair station for your bike: compressor, all valves and tools are available free of charge, while the washing device requires a contribution (normal). Also take the opportunity to fill your water bottles thanks to the small tap on the left.

Lac de Charpal lies at an altitude of 1,360 meters amidst raised bogs, forests, and heathland. This artificial reservoir, built in the 1930s, supplies Mende with drinking water. Today, it is a tranquil retreat, popular for hiking, nature observation, and its protected flora and fauna.

A dam on the Colagne river created this Charpal lake. It supplies the town of Mende with drinking water. The Charpal site was originally chosen in 1925 to create an underwater munitions depot. This strange project never took place, because the lake was not deep enough and did not allow the immersion of the powder.

In the heart of Margeride, this small village seems austere, but for those who know how to observe, this austerity hides great beauty. Margeride is a harsh country and this is reflected in its very architecture.
