Templar villages of Larzac

With 400,000 visitors each year, the Larzac Templar and Hospitaller sites are the most visited in the department after the Millau Viaduct area. Religious orders here have left a lasting imprint on this territory…

Templars and Hospitallers have made a major contribution to what the causse is still today: a living example of agro pastoralism, very justly recognized a few years ago by UNESCO with its inscription on the World Heritage List.

The architectural wealth of the area through the major fortified sites of Sainte-Eulalie-de-Cernon, La Couvertoirade, La Cavalerie, Le Viala-du-Pas-deJaux and Saint-Jean d’Alcas, is an exceptional testimony to a fascinating history that continues to arouse keen interest.
