A beautiful temple with a rich history. Once home to archaeological finds made on the site, it is now a cult site in the Bruche Valley. The name "Donon" actually comes from "Dun," a Gaulish word meaning "mountain." In short, this site is worth a visit, and the view it offers is sublime. A visit is definitely a must.

A Celtic sanctuary on high (near Teutatis). This is a whole temple district. There are remains of Celtic and Roman cult sites on the Donon plateau
