    The old fortified town of La Couvertoirade was an agricultural bastion for the Templars who were well established in Larzac in the 12th century. Cultivation of cereals, breeding of sheep and horses, the environment is conducive to this agricultural activity. It was in the 14th century that the ramparts were built to protect against a group of mercenaries, the Rovers, who pillaged and sacked Larzac.
