Lozère ((:lɔzɛʁ); (オック語:Losera)) is a department in the region of Languedoc-Roussillon in southern France near the Massif Central. It is named after Mont Lozère. ==History== Lozère was created in 1790 during the French Revolution, when the whole of France was divided into departments, replacing the old provinces. Lozère was formed with part of the old province of Languedoc. Les Sources and Hautes-Cèvennes were two other names proposed for this department but they were not accepted. Pliny's Natural History praised the cheese of Lozère: :The kinds of cheese that are most esteemed at Rome, where the various good things of all nations are to be judged of by comparison, are those that come from the provinces of Nemausus, and more especially the area〔Pliny's term is ''pagus'', a Latin equivalent of ''pays''.〕 there of Lesura and Gabalis (Lozère and Gévaudan); but its excellence is only very short-lived, and it must be eaten while it is fresh.〔Pliny, ''Naturalis Historia'' book XI, ch 97:200-202.〕 During the period 1764-67, the Beast of Gévaudan was a creature that terrorized the general area of the former province of Gévaudan, with nearly identical borders to today's Lozère, in the Margeride Mountains. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lozère」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
