Marvejols, Medieval commune in Lozère, France
Marvejols is a town in the Massif Central region at roughly 640 meters elevation, with the Colagne River flowing through its center. This setting gives the place access to walking paths and areas with open countryside.
The town was destroyed during religious conflict in the 16th century and was then completely rebuilt in 1601 under the direction of King Henry IV. This reconstruction shaped the structure and look of the place as it stands today.
The church of Notre Dame de la Carce displays two bronze sculptures showing the Beast of Gevaudan and King Henry IV. These works are part of the town's visual heritage and tell stories that shaped the region.
The Wolf Park of Gevaudan nearby allows visitors to observe more than 100 wolves in natural habitats and welcomes guests year-round. The surroundings work well for day trips and offer many chances to spend time outdoors.
Each July, the group Espoir Oc turns the town into a medieval festival with traditional banquets and celebration of the Occitan language. This yearly event shows the connection to local heritage and regional identity.
