Mont Mimat, Summit in Mende, France
Mont Mimat rises to 1068 meters above sea level, overlooking the city of Mende and providing views of the Lot Valley and Margeride region.
The mountain contains remains of a fortification called Chapieu on its southern slope, built to protect the route connecting Mende with the Régordane path.
The Grotto of Calvary, constructed in 1873, marks the location where Saint Privat established an eremitic settlement during the third century.
Two paved roads access Mont Mimat: one from Lot Valley through Côte de la Croix Neuve and another from Valdonnez valley through Langlade village.
The mountain features an illuminated iron cross installed in 1933, replacing the original from 1900, visible throughout the Mende basin at night.
