H\u00e9rapel Hill, located in Cocheren, is a unique place, steeped in history and offering an escape. This iconic site now provides an ideal setting for walks, discovery, and contemplation. <\/strong><\/p>

It was at the summit of H\u00e9rapel Hill, at an altitude of 330 m, that the ancient Gallo-Roman city of Cocheren was located. As early as the 18th century, excavations uncovered a necropolis. In the 19th century, extensive excavations revealed the remains of a Late Empire enclosure. <\/p>

Subsequently, several other public buildings were excavated, including two octagonal temples. However, many parts still remain to be discovered, such as the dwellings and craft facilities. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
