Saint-Simon (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ simɔ̃]; Auvergnat: Sant Simon) is a commune in the Cantal department in south-central France.
The medieval town of Belliac, located near the present-day Saint-Simon, was the birthplace (in 946) of the prolific scholar Gerbert d'Aurillac, who became Pope Sylvester II, the first of the French popes.
