Editing Lozère (section)

==Economy==
The main activities are cattle farming and tourism. There is barely any arable farming in Lozère due to poor [[soil quality]]. The hardy [[Aubrac cattle|Aubrac]] is the most commonly farmed cattle breed here.

The region has one of the lowest rates of unemployment in France, which may be attributed to the enforced long-standing tradition whereby young people emigrate to cities such as [[Lyon]], [[Marseille]], and [[Montpellier]] when they reach working age.
