La Couvertiorade is described as the perfect Templar village. This though is like many places a place built and renovated over a period of time. It is though a completely walled citadel. It does still have a permanent resident population whose only employment is tourism. It is a place that is fascinating to visit but not a place that would be nice to live in. It's possible to walk around the ramparts and you are able to view a film of the history of the building and defences of the village over the ages. There are arrow splits in the walls and circular holes for the age of guns to be fired out. It is a stunning citadel. As you can see when we went it was vivid blue skies and very warm weather. A photo says a thousand words so here is a selection of four taken from the Templar Village.
