Lozère department of south-eastern France belonging to the central plateau, composed of almost the whole of Gevaudan and of some portions of the old dioceses of Uzes and Alais, districts all formerly included in the province of Languedoc

Lozère (in Occitan Losera), is a department in southeast France near the Massif Central, named after Mont Lozère. The geography of Lozère is complicated, covering four mountain ranges. In the north-west, the basalt highland of Aubrac ascends among 1,000 and 1,450m, with a cold humid weather influenced by the Atlantic. The main conducts are farming and tourism, even though there is barely any agricultural farming in Lozère due to poor soil quality. Most farms are for the cattle. Aubrac cow is the most normally found in this region. The region has one of the lowest possible rates of unemployment in France.
