Three certified villages
in LozèreSainte-Enimie
A medieval village nestled at the bottom of the Gorges du Tarn, Sainte-Enimie is truly impressive.
One does not stop going down to reach this pretty little town with its medieval past still visible, where Benedictine monks worked for many years to bring prosperity to the area.
We recommend you to visit Sainte-Enimie and the Gorges du Tarn between April and October first.

La Garde Guerin (1)
La Garde Guérin
This fortification which guarded the Régordane way, linking Provence and Languedoc to the Auvergne overlooks the Gorges du Chassezac.
The place is magnificent and still clearly retains the vestiges of its past.
Many films on the Middle Ages have been shot on site.
Le Malzieu
This medieval village has gone through history, there are also traces of human settlement from the Neolithic period.
The Gallo-Roman era and the early Middle Ages saw the gradual development of a city thanks to the rise of the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela and the establishment of “priories” (convents and monasteries) on the site in the 11th century.
The oldest visible vestiges of the current city date from the 13th century.
Le Malzieu went through the reform and the religious wars with losses in the 16th century. Conquered by the Protestants of Mathieu Merle then taken over by the Duke of Joyeuse, the city suffered partial destruction (church and ramparts in particular).
However, the historic center retains an architectural heritage that gives a very special atmosphere to the site.
Not to be missed if you like very pretty villages!
