Geography
Hures-la-Parade is situated on the Causse Méjean in the southeastern part of the Lozère department. It was created in 1971 after the fusion of the old communes of Hures and La Parade. With less than three inhabitants per square kilometer, it is one of the least densely populated French communes. The commune's southern border is delineated by the gorges of the Jonte river, which also form the border with the neighboring Aveyron department.
Nature
The territory of the commune houses three officially recognized natural sites:[4]
- The Aven Armand cave, located in the southern part of the commune and known for its large stalagmites.
- The Grotte Amélineau cave, unopened to the public.
- The gorges of the Jonte river
A group of Przewalski horses was released near the hamlet of Le Villaret in 2004 with the aim of preparing them for their eventual reintroduction in Western Mongolia.[5]
