Whether or not there was a Roman camp at the top of Montmeugne, as has long been claimed, is of little importance. The bottom line is that generations of children have sat in this cauldron and their imaginations have prompted them to think of themselves as a Roman emperor overseeing his empire.

To get to this site, take the Chemin de la Madone from the village behind the church.
