La Couvertoirade
At a 30-minute drive from Lunas, on Causse du Larzac, lies the Templar town of La Couvertoirade. In this charming, walled-in town you can walk on the ramparts or stroll pleasantly along the authentic houses, inhabited by local artists. Don't forget to visit the fortified church with its magnificent leaded-glass windows and the Templar fortress. La Couvertoirade can be a nice alternative for those who want to avoid the crowds at Carcassonne.
