    Templar village to see absolutely, even if we must expect the world during the holidays. A lot of souvenir shops and others.
    The outside lavender is worth 200 m walk.

      The ramparts of La Couvertoirade were built all around the village in the 15th century (1439-1445), during the Hundred Years War, to prevent attacks and plundering.
      The knights Hospitalier (future Knights of Malta), who ruled the village after the Templars, had these ramparts built especially in a dissuasive purpose.
