Temple construction in the 2nd century on the summit of the Puy de Dôme. The Temple of Mercury, built on the summit of the Puy de Dôme, was one of the largest mountain sanctuaries in Roman Gaul. It could be seen from a great distance, including from the city of Augustonemetum, present-day Clermont-Ferrand. The Via Agrippa, a highway from Lyon, the capital of Gaul, to Saintes on the Atlantic, allowed travelers to reach the shrine via the pilgrimage center at the Col de Ceyssat.

The Temple of Mercury on the Puy de Dôme is a Gallo-Roman temple built in the 2nd century on the summit of the Puy de Dôme to replace a 1st century temple. Excavations in 1875 and the early 20th century uncovered the ruins. In the 1st century, the Arverni decided to build a temple to Mercury in their city of Augustonemetum (now Clermont-Ferrand). In the following century, this temple in arkose, which had undoubtedly become too small to accommodate the many pilgrims who visited it, was replaced by a larger and more majestic temple in trachyte.

During this hiking highlight we come across the remains of a temple in honor of MERKUR (in Latin: MERCURIUS) at the height of the mountain plateau, an archaeological excavation site. Dating back to ancient pre-Christian times, the deities of Roman and Greek legends in particular have been preserved in the collective memory of people in Europe to this day. MERCURY is the “messenger of the gods” in Roman mythology, and HERMES corresponds to him in Greek mythology.

A creation of the Count of Montlosier, L'Étang de Montlosier is more of a landscape creation. It is artificially created by diversion of the Randanne which then bumps against the lava flow of the Puys de la Vache and Lassolas. The pond covers an area of nearly 1.5 hectares and has no apparent water outlet. This disappears, in fact, in the volcanic strata at the foot of the puys of Lassolas, La Vache, and Mercœur. After a political career spent abroad, François Dominique de Reynaud, Count of Montlosier, tired of political intrigues, retired to his land in Montlosier in 1816. It is a very poor land where agriculture is impossible. The count undertakes to make it possible by transforming the landscape, a work that will take him 22 years. Living with his son in a cottage, he first took care of housing the cattle. The castle will be built later, in 1820. Then, he takes care of clearing, restoring the soil, making hydraulic arrangements and finally cultivating. It goes without saying that the landscape is profoundly modified.
