Aumont-Aubrac has many stories relating to the Beast of Gévaudan. This ferocious beast is at the origin of a series of attacks against humans that occurred between 1764 and 1767 in Gévaudan in Lozère. The legend remains intact. Still, a beautiful weather vane representing the animal is located in the city center. If you are a lover of good food, then I recommend that you reserve a table at chef Cyril Attrazic's Michelin-starred gourmet restaurant. You will have the choice between a starred restaurant, but in the same establishment, the chef also runs a brasserie and a bistro. There is something for all budgets. It's quite unexpected to find such gastronomic diversity in such a small village. Aumont-Aubrac is also one of the key places in Lozère to taste this extraordinary dish that is aligot (mashed potatoes mixed with fresh tomme cheese).

A beautiful pond where you can cool off on hot days. The equipped beach welcomes you for sunbathing before taking a dip in the cool water.

Located on the Haute Colagne, on the foothills of the Margeride at an altitude of 1,044m, the artificial lake of Ganivet, like the lake of Charpal, is fed by the Colagne. The lake is remarkable for the small wooded islet located in its center and accessible by swimming. This small shallow lake is home to some pretty brown trout from the Colagne river, as well as gudgeons or minnows.
