La Cavalerie is a fortified village, located on the Larzac plateau, 14 km from the Millau Viaduct on the A75 motorway, exit 47.
Founded in the twelfth century by the Knights Templar of Larzac, La Cavalerie was fortified in the fifteenth century by the Knights Hospitaller.
After suffering significant damage during the wars of religion, the walls are fully restored today.
