    In the time of the Templars, in the 12th and 13th centuries, La Couvertoirade was a village on the road to the Holy Land, and had to be able to supply pilgrims.

    The town was fortified later, in the 15th century, because more or less organized gangs plundered the villages of Larzac.

      Go through the gates of the ramparts and have the feeling of stepping back in time! A very beautiful little town with its narrow streets, its towers, its uneven cobblestones... worth the detour!
