From here, you enjoy a breathtaking view of the town of La Couvertoirade. We appreciate how the historic buildings blend into an unrivaled natural setting.

Long before the discovery of electricity and the associated inventions, our ancestors discovered the possibility of harnessing the power of the elements - which on the one hand were useful, but on the other hand could also be a threat as a force of nature - for various purposes. A suitable example of the human ingenuity of earlier generations is such a mill: the heavy millstones with which, for example, grain was ground into grain or oil was pressed, could be powered with the help of water or - as here - the wind. Hardly any of them still fulfill their original functions today, but fortunately some have at least been preserved as evidence of the old days.

Placed in the heart of the Larzac plateau, the Cité de La Couvertoirade has the aura of these legendary villages where the tumults of history and the peaceful beauty of a preserved region intermingle. Here, a thousand years of history welcome you. https://lacouvertoirade.com

La Couvertoirade is a village with a rich heritage, in particular because of its Templar past. It is also an ideal stage for a race on the Larzac plateau.

Magnificent view of the Couvertoirade.
