Chapelle du Mont-Lozère

The chapel is a project linked to the reform movement of scouting initiated in the 1960s by François Lebouteux, who served as the national leader of Scouts de France. His book, "L’école du chantier," encourages construction work aimed at promoting peace. Previously, scouts contributed to projects in the Gard, including a swimming pool in Concoules and a water supply system in Sénéchas. In 1967, a significant gathering of Scouts de France at "Point Soleil" on Mont Lozère brought together 6,000 young participants to construct the foundations and walls of a chapel inspired by the symbolism of scout tents and cabins.
