Old town of Languedoc, in the heart of the Hérault. For twenty centuries, Clermont carries(wears) proudly the Latin translation of the name that the Gallic to this headquarters looked.

The populations grouped together(included) in Moyen-Age behind robust ramparts under the protection of the castle. What is worth us this incomparable medieval set(group).
