"59km east of Mende on the N101. Old baryte, native silver, and lead deposits in the area." [Belot, 1978]

During the 19th century, Villefort was the second mining district in Lozère, after Vialas. Almost 10 baryte-quartz veins are known in this area but several of them are located in the Gard department.
