Hures-la-Parade (French pronunciation: [yʁ la paʁad]; Occitan: Ura e la Parada) is a commune in the Lozère department in southern France.[3]
Hures-la-Parade is situated on the Causse Méjean in the southeastern part of the Lozère department. It was created in 1971 after the fusion of the old communes of Hures and La Parade. With less than three inhabitants per square kilometer, it is one of the least densely populated French communes. The commune's southern border is delineated by the gorges of the Jonte river, which also form the border with the neighboring Aveyron department.
