Geography

Location

edit

The Moure de la Gardille is located near the Mercoire forest, facing the Montagne du Goulet, between the Cévennes and the Margeride, approximately 35 km from Mende.[1]

Hydrography

edit

Two important sources are located on the mountain, less than two kilometers apart: those of the Allier and the Chassezac.[2] However, these two rivers do not feed the same basin. Indeed, the Allier flows into the Loire while the Chassezac - although originating west of the Allier - descends towards the Ardèche and the Vallée du Rhône.[3]
