La Couvertoirade

Highlight • Castle

Retrace the history of the Hospitallers at La Couvertoirade. The Order of the Temple erected the defensive castle in the 13th century. Two centuries later, the knights of the Order of Malt built the enclosure of the ramparts in order to protect the inhabitants from the truckers.

La Couvertoirade Fortified Village

Highlight • Historical Site

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.
