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