Larzac Templars and Hospitallers' Circuit
In the 12th century the Order of the Knights Templar had been given a part of the Larzac lands. The order founded a commandery in Ste-Eulalie-de-Cernon, with extensions in La Cavalerie and La Couvertoirade. After the order's dissolution (early 14th century) the Hospitallers took over the Knights Templar's possessions. In the restless 15th century they reinforced their villages and the walls, towers and fortified gates can still be admired in het barrren Larzac scenery. The Circuit du Larzac Templier et Hospitalier leads you to their 5 locations: Ste-Eulalie-de-Cernon, Le Viala-du-Pas-de-Jaux, St-Jean-d'Alcas, La Couvertoirade en La Cavalerie.
