After Lauras, the D23 gradually gains height. Then, in the third bend, the view opens up to the Combalou which emerges, like a limestone tooth placed above the meadows of the causse. Massive, cut, almost sculptural, it dominates Roquefort-sur-Soulzon and marks the entrance to its mineral universe.

Behind its perfectly preserved ramparts lies an astonishing Templar heritage. Founded in the 12th century, the commandery of Saint-Eulalie-de-Cernon was a strategic center of the Order of the Temple on the Larzac. A remarkably preserved village!
