The site of the Temple of Mercury ruins is on the summit of the Puy de Dome(H1464m). The Temple was built in the Gallo Romans period (2nd century). There is a small archeological museum called \l'Espace Temple de Mercure\ with audio-guides in several languages. Free entry.
Amazing. First Roman ruins I've ever visited and I love Roman history. Amazing hike as well. Amazing scenery.
Peaceful,close to nature
Gorgeous view at the top!! The hike there is pretty tiresome but the view is well worth it. There is also a tram available for those who don't want to do the hike. Once at the temple most of the information was written in English and German, not just french. There was also a very cute museum to get more history of the site.
We were awestruck by the idea of the Romans transporting so much material up here to build such a large temple! That said, only the foundations and very bottom of the walls remain and you can't get anywhere close to the ruins. Impressive, but I hesitate to recommend people take the trip up to the top to see this site it's a lovely bonus to the spectacular views up top.
Incredibly beautiful
Marvelous walk on the heights of very old volcanoes! Splendid nature. And spring time it's beautiful
