“It’s so extraordinary that when you walk<br />
around the medieval ramparts, you know that<br />
these walls are original. It’s easy to imagine<br />
that the Knights Templar and generations of<br />
people since have walked here and looked out<br />
at the astonishing views for hundreds of years”<br />
says Julia Girard-Gervois of TripUSAFrance.<br />
“It never ceases to amaze me just how<br />
absolutely gorgeous this village is with its<br />
cobbled streets, beautiful grey stone houses<br />
and flowers and vines everywhere. It’s been<br />
likened to a miniature Carcassonne and it<br />
really is incredibly pretty.”<br />
Just an hour’s drive from the city of<br />
Montpellier and close to the beautiful village<br />
of Saint-Guilhem-le-Desert, La Couvertoirade<br />
has an epic history. “This is no museum town<br />
though” says Julia “it’s brimming with history<br />
and vibrant with artisans, potters, wool<br />
spinners and more. It’s not hard to imagine it<br />
how it was in the days of the Templars. There’s<br />
even a communal bread oven at the windmill<br />
which has been restored and once a week you<br />
can taste bread and other local specialities.”<br />
This little village certainly lives up to its Plus<br />
Beaux Village award…<br />
