Châteauneuf-de-Randon (French: [ʃɑtonœf ʁɑ̃dɔ̃]; Occitan: Chastèlnòu de Randon) is a village and commune in the Lozère department in southern France.

History

The battle of Châteauneuf-de-Randon was fought in 1380 between the English and the French. In 1380 the fortress of Châteauneuf-de-Randon was besieged by the French, under the command of Bertrand du Guesclin, and the fortress was defended by an English garrison under De Ros. The town surrendered on the 4th of July. The siege, however, was fatal to the French commander.
