Plateau Gergovia

I am really enjoying fall in France this year.  The weather is mild for a change so we have been are taking advantage of many of the outdoor activities that are available like walking in the area surrounding Clermont.  During fallbreak a few weeks ago, we drove up to Plateau Gergovia.  It is said to be the site of the Battle of Gergovia between Vercingetorix and Julius Caesar in 52 BC.  Although we have passed this plateau often over the past three years, this was the first time that we actually visited.
