In the Lozère department, in the commune of Gabrias, the château de Cougoussac stands off the beaten track, close to the old Roman road known as la Boulaine. Originating in the 14th century as a seigneurial farmstead, it took on its present appearance under the Retz family, who owned it from 1587 to 1849 and added, among other things, a gateway dated 1672 bearing their coat of arms. Visitors can also see a 17th-century chapel standing apart from the main building, along with terraces below the courtyard.
