Florac, Administrative center in Lozère, France
The town stands at the intersection of three distinct geological formations: Cevennes shale, Mont Lozère granite, and Causses limestone plateaus.
In 1363, Pope Urban V provided 300 florins to Florac for the construction of defensive walls to protect the settlement from external threats.
The local market features stalls where vendors present regional products, including traditional foods and crafts from the Lozère department.
Visitors find various lodging options throughout the town, from established hotels to camping sites near the convergence of three rivers.
The Robert Louis Stevenson Trail passes through Florac, following the path documented in his 1879 travel narrative about the Cévennes region.
