The Trans-Cévennes railway project never saw the light of day in its entirety. So much so that today the project has been converted into a greenway allowing cyclists to connect Tournemire to Le Vigan. Gravel lovers will particularly enjoy this beautiful gravel route where nature has also reclaimed its rights.

La Couvertoirade Fortified Village

Highlight • Historical Site

The old fortified town of La Couvertoirade was an agricultural bastion for the Templars who were well established in Larzac in the 12th century. Cultivation of cereals, breeding of sheep and horses, the environment is conducive to this agricultural activity. It was in the 14th century that the ramparts were built to protect against a group of mercenaries, the Rovers, who pillaged and sacked Larzac.

Retrace the history of the Hospitallers at La Couvertoirade. The Order of the Temple erected the defensive castle in the 13th century. Two centuries later, the knights of the Order of Malt built the enclosure of the ramparts in order to protect the inhabitants from the truckers.

Sculpted elm and Roc Castel chapel, Le Caylar

Highlight • Historical Site

Two curiosities are worth discovering in this pretty medieval village.
First, there's a stunning century-old elm tree sculpted and enhanced by Michel Chevray, located in the center of the village. In 1989, the artist gave this tree a new lease on life. The work of art is protected from the elements by a huge umbrella.
The second curiosity is the Roc Castel chapel, which overlooks the village.
