Saint-Affrique itself, even though I only passed through quickly, it's already a small town, I didn't find any particular charm. It's not ugly, it's not particularly beautiful either. It has the merit of existing.

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!

Superb view of the valleys of Soulzone and Cerno, accessible by the forest track of the forest of Guiral or by a small more technical path. The Roquesquatre cave is just below.
