La Couvertoirade
The well preserved and fortified little town of La Couvertoirade was once built up and established by the Knights Templar. Following their dissolution in 1312, the property was taken by the Knights of St John ("Military Order of Malta") who had the still existing wall around the town built between 1439 and 1450. The town was never taken, it withstood the dreadful "Grandes compagnies", groups of "free lancers", raiding and looting and later the Huguenots. But over the centuries it lost it´s population. Today less that 200 people live here, mostly gifted artists, waiting for the tourists, walking through this perfect open air museum.
