Langogne (French pronunciation: [lɑ̃ɡɔɲ]; Occitan: Lengònha) is a commune in the Lozère department in southern France.
Located on the antique Regordane way, the Paris–Nimes railway line and the road RN 88 (Lyon–Toulouse), the city has long been a commercial crossroad between the Auvergne, the Cévennes and the Languedoc.
Robert Louis Stevenson passed through Langogne on his Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes on 23 September 1878.
[3] Just at the bridge of Langogne, as the long-promised rain was beginning to fall, a lassie of some seven or eight addressed me in the sacramental phrase, ‘D’où’st-ce-que vous venez?’ She did it with so high an air that she set me laughing; and this cut her to the quick.
She was evidently one who reckoned on respect, and stood looking after me in silent dudgeon, as I crossed the bridge and entered the county of Gévaudan.
[4]Langogne is the birthplace of Pierre-Victor Galtier, a prominent animal pathologist of the 19th century, professor at the veterinary school of Lyon.
