SAINT-PÉ-D'ARDET Haute-Garonne, France.

The Church of Saint-Pé-d'Ardet was built on the site of a pagan sanctuary where Jupiter Optimus Maximus was worshiped along with the local divinities, Artahe and Idiatte, and the deified mountains. The sanctuary was surrounded by a necropolis which has produced many cremation graves.
