thumb|right|Plaque commemorating the visit of Napoléon III to Gergovie Gergovie (in auvergnat Gergòia; until 1865 Merdogne) is a French village in the commune of La Roche-Blanche in the Puy-de-Dôme département, a few kilometres south of Clermont-Ferrand.
It is situated at the foot of the Gergovie plateau, the official but disputed site of the Battle of Gergovia, where, near the Arverni oppidum of Nemossos (a sacred wood, in Gaulish), the Arverni and other Gallic tribes gathered under Vercingetorix's command to fight the Roman legions of Julius Caesar in 52 BC.
