Lozère, Department in Occitanie, France.

Located in southern France, Lozere encompasses mountainous terrains, limestone plateaus, and river gorges across its 5,167 square kilometers of territory.

The department established in 1790 during the French Revolution gained notoriety between 1764 and 1767 when a mysterious creature called Beast of Gevaudan terrorized local communities.

Lozere maintains strong agricultural traditions centered around cattle farming, particularly the Aubrac breed, while preserving ancient cheese-making methods mentioned in Pliny's writings.

The department contains three principal urban centers - Mende serving as prefecture, Saint-Chely-d'Apcher, and Marvejols - connected by a network of regional roads.

With only 15 inhabitants per square kilometer, Lozere maintains the lowest population density among all French departments while containing parts of Cevennes National Park.
