Javols, Ancient administrative settlement in Lozère, France

Located at an elevation of 931 meters, Javols extends across 31 square kilometers of land in the Arrondissement of Mende.

The settlement functioned as the capital of Gévaudan during the Gallo-Roman period, with archaeological remains still present throughout the area.

The site contains remnants of Roman temples and public buildings that demonstrate the architectural methods and social organization of ancient Gaul.

Visitors can access the archaeological area through marked paths that connect different sections of the former Roman settlement.

The transformation from an independent commune to a delegated commune in 2017 preserved the administrative functions while integrating with Peyre en Aubrac.
