Care made in Lozere
Lozere is a nature destination par excellence. From Aubrac to Margeride, from Causses and Cevennes to Mont Lozère, from the Tarn Gorges to the Lot Valley, the territory is rich in grandiose landscapes and an incredibly preserved flora. Abundant natural resources that some beauty and well-being actors have chosen to exploit and sublimate. Vegetable or organic cosmetics, made in Lozere, are thus particularly numerous. In La Tieule, Essenciagua collects its plants within a 150 kilometer radius of its distillery to produce essential oils and hydrolats, which relieve physical pain as well as bruises in the soul. In Sainte-Croix-Vallée-Française, the company Plantes des Cévennes transforms aromatic and medicinal plants into creams, balms, deodorants, care oils and perfumes... While Apimousse, in Servières, has concentrated on the manufacture of superfatted soaps rich in glycerin and generous in honey and beeswax from the farm. All these products, alone or in a box, and their pleasant fragrances, will surely remind you of your Lozere days in the open air, once you are back home.
Gastronomy
The Lozerian gastronomy is as varied as the landscapes which compose it. Influenced by the Auvergne region and its mountains, the forests of the Cevennes and its Mediterranean neighbors, the department offers a wide range of exceptional products, which are presented more extensively elsewhere in these pages. Some producers, however, stray from the traditional paths of the land to offer more singular sweets. In Marvejols, Kokolo et Zaza is an artisanal cookie factory, which makes healthy -and good- cookies flavored with good sense and authenticity: shortbread, madeleines, aperitif cakes, crunchy cakes... Some of which are vegan or gluten-free. In Mende, Madre e Hija started in 2021 the production of its energy truffles: amazing and tasty vegan bites with no added sugar, which can easily fit in a hiker's backpack
Beers
If Lozère is not really known as a land of vineyards, it is however famous for a large number of breweries. We particularly like the Brasseurs de la Jonte, in Gatuzières, who have created potions without coloring or preservatives. Their little names all hide a story or an anecdote linked to the land or to the brewing tradition. In Saint-Chély-d'Apcher, it is the Brasserie de la Naine and its organic beers that deserve a visit and a visit to the store, to bring back to your friends and family a nice souvenir from Lozere. White, blond, amber, redhead, brown, and even without alcohol, there are indeed of all the colors and for all the palates.
