traveling to France : Visit The Knights Templar - La Couvertoirade
La Couvertoirade is a commune in the Aveyron department in southern France.
This Mediaeval village reflecting the military power of the Knights Templar and the daily life of the Hospitaller, an exceptional heritage built by the Knights Templar and Hospitaller. This listed and protected fortified village is full of treasure: the 12th century Knights Templar château, the Templar then later Hospitaller church, the 14th century oven, the ramparts, the lavogne water hole and a maze of streets lined with small shops and houses typical of the Causse
Like other Larzac villages, the population fell rapidly in the 19th century, to as few as 362 by 1880. Today, it is largely inhabited by craftsmen working with enamel, pottery, weaving and similar crafts.
From around the world,

BARGING THROUGH FRANCE PT 15 - LA DROME
THE LIME FLOWER FAIR
In this episode of the video series about barging through France, host Richard Goodwin takes a trip down the Rhone tied to the barge of my friend whose barge is called L'Humanite. The Rhone is still a river for working boats and men. Before the river was canalised, men used to drag the barges up the river.
Richard reports:
My first stop was at the vineyard that produced St. Joseph wine. The proprietor graphically demonstrated his method for tasting wine.
In the Vercours, Mr Achard demonstrates his bee keeping technique. He convinces me that the bees he cultivates from Buckfast Abbey, in Devon never sting and produce a large amount of honey. When he presses a frame of the hive against my cheek fully populated with bees, I confess my heart was in my mouth. He tells of the many grafts that Father Adam had made to produce these amazing bees. Mr. Achard, a professor of Indian history, also told me many things about the history of bees which I found immensely interesting. The bee is 150 million years old. He says that his friend Father Adam was the best beekeeper since Aristotle 2400 years ago.
The Drome is a great place for growing lavender. Every year in a corner of the Drome in Baronies there is lime flower fair where dried lime flowers are sold by members of the public which is a joy to watch. I meet some amusing people on the way to the fair. Lime flower tea is a neuro sedative and not as my talkative friend claims an aphrodisiac. This is what is called La France profonde or truly in the stix.
Le monastère de la Grande Chartreuse (Isère - France)
(F) Le monastère de la Grande Chartreuse est le premier monastère et la maison-mère de l'Ordre des Chartreux. Il est situé au pied du Grand Som, quatrième plus haut sommet du massif de la Chartreuse.
L'implantation des Chartreux dans le massif qui leur a donné son nom fait de ce site le type de l'espace monastique cartusien, bien que lordre se soit accommodé dès le xiiie siècle de sites urbains et de maisons situées en plaine, voire au bord de la mer.
Conformément à la règle cartusienne, le monastère ne se visite pas, mais un musée est installé à la Correrie, en aval du monastère. On peut y voir des reconstitutions de cellules de moines.
(EN) Grande Chartreuse is the head monastery of the Carthusian order. It is located in the Chartreuse Mountains, north of the city of Grenoble, in the commune of Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse (Isère), France. Originally, the château belonged to the See of Grenoble. In 1084, Saint Hugh gave it to hermit Saint Bruno and his followers who founded the Carthusian Order.
Today, visitors are not permitted at Grand Chartreuse, and motor vehicles are prohibited on the surrounding roads. However, a museum of the Carthusian order and the lives of its monks and nuns stands about two kilometers away.
The order is supported by the sales of Chartreuse liqueur which has been popular in France and later around the world since the early 1700s.
English poet Matthew Arnold wrote one of his finest poems, Stanzas from the Grande Chartreuse, while briefly staying at the monastery around 1850. The quiet, serenity, and monastic calm became, for him, the susurrations of a dying world which contrasted with what he saw as the violent emerging age of machinery. Grand Chartreuse was also described in the 1850 revision of William Wordsworth's The Prelude, Book VI, lines 416-88 (Wordsworth visited the monastery in 1790), and John Ruskin's Praeterita.
The monastery was closed in 1903 by the French state. The monks found refuge in Italy until 1929, but returned in 1940 when it was reopened.
A documentary film about the monastery entitled Into Great Silence, directed by Philip Gröning, received acclaim on the film festival circuit following its release in 2005.

BARGING THROUGH FRANCE PT 17 - LA DROME
Host Richard Goodwin continues his adventure through France with a report from the La Drome area of France:
At the end of the 19th.Century, Ferdinand Cheval, a postman in Haut-Rives, constructed his ideal palace which was purely decorative. It took him 33 years and at the same time he was doing his postal round which was between 30-40 kms per day. Imagine coming back after walking all that way and then getting going on your passion. He said that while he was walking on the same route every day, it gave him the chance to dream. He had worked as a baker and was therefore used to working with dough so he knew how to make the shapes you see decoration his ideal palace. He really was a marathon man and had gotten used to people thinking he was quite mad. It is, however an extraordinary monument to one man's extraordinary vision and has become in own way a major work of art. He was a truly remarkable man and in his way a poet in stone.
Bernard Cathelin, who is another artist but of a much more conventional kind, had been a professor of art at the Beaux Art in Paris which is the top art school in the capital. He owes his artistic career entirely to his mother and the countryside of the Drome where he has this house and grounds. His simple paintings express the intercourse between man and nature.
The countryside of the Drome keeps calling me back.
The countries that impressed him most were Mexico for the colour he saw there and Japan for its reflection. My roots are very strong from here. I had a beautiful mother who put me on the path to beauty. It talks moving about the mysterious properties of lavender.
The little village of Soyons is dominated by its castle and a beautiful Romanesque church. In the village is the egg museum created and run by Francoise She has minute eggs from the humming bird to giant dinosaur eggs 700 million years old.
Of course I asked her whether the chicken or the eggs came first and she gives a very clear and definitive answer but you will have to watch the episode to hear her answer. Francoise shows the amazing things that you can do with an egg like making lace. Then she took me to her witches' garden where she has a number of strange herbs and other devices. This really is a beautiful place. She tries to convince me that these beans are the beans Jack used in Jack and the Beanstalk.
The castle of Aulan is a remarkable place because it has been entirely restored by the very amazing Count Aulan who told me that the castle had been in the since 1313 which is quite a hunk of time. The family nearly lost the castle in the First World War through some unscrupulous, dishonest lawyer. The robust octogenarian Count Aulan has many a good story to tell.
