In the heart of the Cévennes National Park, 75% of its territory is in the heart of the park, the commune of Pont-de-Montvert-Sud-Mont-Lozère lies on the southern slopes of Mont Lozère. The Tarn takes its source on its territory, crosses the town between massive Mount Lozère and massive of the Bougés. Inscribed in the supplementary inventory of historic monuments, the Rouméjon bridge and its clock tower (originally toll tower) ensures the crossing of the river Tarn on the site of an old ford at the historical borders between two Provinces, two dioceses.

This typical village with three bridges is an inevitable step in the discovery of the Cévennes country. The birthplace of Pope Urbain V in Grizac, the birthplace of the war of Camisards with the assassination of the Abbe du Chayla, a milestone on the way to Robert Louis Stevenson, you will be transported by the magic of its history.

For all lovers of green tourism and outdoor activities: hiking trails, climbing walls, cycling, mountain biking, swimming, horseback riding, skiing... Le Pont is the ideal place.

Central location, you will be equidistant from the Causses, the gorges (Jonte and Tarn), the Margeride and the Cevennes.

Every Wednesday morning, you will discover on the square of the church a market with many local products: meats, pélardons, poultry, game, fruits and vegetables, honey, chestnuts, mushrooms...

The former commune of Fraissinet-de-Lozère stretches from the summit of Finiels to the Roc des Laubies to the Tarn.

Exposed full south, at an altitude ranging from 650 m to 1699 m, it includes the villages of Rûnes, Fraissinet-de-Lozere, Brousse, Finialettes, Racoules, Viala.

The village of Saint-Maurice-de-Ventalon is located on the edge of the mountain called "Ventalon", on the Mediterranean side of Bougès. Saint-Maurice is the name of the patron saint of the former Catholic parish of the place. Saint-Maurice is located at 1000 meters above sea level, in the center of the canton, practically on the watershed between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, which is located at the cross of the Croix de Berthel. At the same pass cross the two main departmental roads.
