It is situated within the Massif Central mountain range and is part of the commune of Pont-de-Montvert-Sud-Mont-Lozère. The area is known for its rugged natural beauty, characterized by granite peaks, deep valleys, and wild forests.

The hamlet is a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts, particularly during the warmer months.

Méjeans offers a sense of isolation and tranquility, appealing to those seeking an escape from urban life.

Historically, the region has a pastoral tradition, with sheep farming being a significant part of the local economy for centuries. The landscape around Méjeans reflects this heritage, with stone farmhouses and grazing lands dotting the hillsides. The Mont Lozère, the highest peak in the Lozère department, is nearby, offering panoramic views and further opportunities for outdoor activities. The climate is alpine, with cold winters and mild summers. The isolation and distinct environment contribute to the unique character of Méjeans.
