브레누 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

매력적인 도시는 의 중심부에 위치하며 의 관문으로 여겨집니다. 구시가지는 좁은 골목길, 인상적인 대성당, 아늑한 광장으로 방문객을 사로잡습니다. 하이커들은 주변 산, 협곡, 그리고 남프랑스의 고요한 분위기와 광활한 풍경을 특히 높이 평가합니다.

The Gestapo raged here too.

An unassuming memorial to a Resistance fighter

Mende는 Lozère 주의 가장 중요한 도시입니다. 기원전 200년으로 거슬러 올라가는 정말 오래된 도시입니다. 수많은 중세 건물들이 그 명성을 말해줍니다. 다른 것들 중에서도 특히 높이가 다른 종탑을 가진 이상한 특징이 있는 웅장한 대성당을 발견할 수 있습니다. 이 도시는 부분적으로 직물 생산 덕분에 부유해졌으며, Languedoc와 Auvergne 지역 간의 중요한 상업 교차로가 되었습니다. 저는 특히 물 위에서 스스로 굴러가는 거대한 돌 구슬이 있는 분수를 좋아합니다.

Beautiful old town with a very good shopping street to stroll around and a beautiful large church

Very pretty forest path, rolling, on the side of the Causse de Mende

Great place to stop for a view of Mende.

On the Causse de Mende, above the town, there are two villages which were sold to the State by their last inhabitants in 1905: Gerbal and La Chaumette. At this date, there remains an inhabitant in Gerbal and a family in La Chaumette. We are far from the fifteen families who lived here at the beginning of the 19th century. These villages lived off the breeding of sheep and the cultivation of wheat. But from the 16th century, the demand for wool exploded in Europe. The herds are growing, which leads to the deforestation of more and more areas and the exhaustion of land. It is therefore depleted and leached land which is ceded to the State, which establishes the current forest there. Of these villages there remain the ruins of the dwellings, with the exception of a Chaumette complex restored by the ONF in the 1960s. These houses, entirely in limestone, are models of the Caussenard habitat. The main building has two levels, ground floor housing and the floor dedicated to storage, is accompanied by a sheepfold surmounted by its barn. All of these constructions are made of stone, there is no wood of sufficient quality and size or at too high a cost. There were only two villages because there are only two sources of water, which had to supplement several cisterns and lavognes (artificial pond to water the cattle).
