- Mausolee Romain de Lanuejols - Noted as “the remains of a Roman tomb which must have been one of the most beautiful monuments there is in France”, we will tour the place and you will be able to examine for yourselves that it must indeed have been a building of magnitude during the Gallo-Roman period.
- Ermitage Saint-Privat - The history linked to the caves under Mont Mimat would be contemporary with the Roman Mausoleum of Lanuéjols. The Hermitage allows us to talk about the beginning of the eventful history of Lozère and Saint Privat, with a magnificent view of Mende.
- Stèle du camp de Rieucros - Centuries have passed and we find ourselves in a dark era in our history, the 2nd World War, of which the Rieucros camp is a very important marker. After discovering the information panels, you can climb to the sculpted rock via a small, fairly steep path.
