The English Tower is the only remaining remnant of a castle belonging to the Barony of Randon and built under the patronage of Philippe de Randon. The story goes that he discovered his castle completely destroyed upon returning from a crusade. Following this, he decided to rebuild a new one, overlooking the entire region, so as not to be taken by surprise again.

The Fortunio peak is the highest point in the Margeride massif. It is therefore naturally designated as the ideal observation post for Lake Charpal.

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.

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.
