    The Temple of Mercury was built in the 2nd century AD to replace another that had become too small. It served as a pilgrimage site for the inhabitants of Augustonemetum, the name of present-day Clermont-Ferrand in the Gallo-Roman era.

    From the sanctuary, the view of the historic capital of Auvergne is magnificent. It is also possible to admire the south of the Chaîne des Puys.
