Lanobre

Lanobre encompasses approximately 4,216 hectares in the Cantal department, with elevations ranging from 430 to 896 meters above sea level, featuring granite hills, numerous lakes, and forest areas dominated by oak, fir, and beech trees.

Human occupation of Lanobre dates back to prehistoric times with archaeological evidence from around 5,000 BCE, while discoveries at Lac de Bramefont demonstrate the presence of Gallo-Roman populations who established settlements in this region during antiquity.

The Church of Saint-Jacques le Majeur, built in the 12th century, serves as a central historical monument and traditional gathering place for residents, representing the rich religious and architectural heritage that defines the local community identity.

The town hall located at Place de l'Église provides administrative services and local heritage information through its website, with opening hours typically from 9:15 AM to 12:15 PM according to tourist seasons and municipal schedules.

Lanobre has maintained remarkable demographic stability with approximately 1,400 inhabitants since 1962, a rare phenomenon among surrounding rural communes that illustrates the community's attractiveness and cohesion in the Artense region known as 'stone country'.
