Pros: free parking, a very "kind" entrance fee, wc available, English speaking staff at the ticket office, extremely clean place, everything was very vell arranged, clean, as it was created yesterday, many instructive exponats inside, 3D demo was very interesting and funny mainly for kids, you can even find a small educative corner for kids with puzzles and paintings, Cons: besides the ticket office the other staff does not speak English, no English explanations, no English demo, cannot go and see the outside area because of winter? I do not understand why somebody invest the money and time to build such awesome place like this and do not use English to explain the things for foreigners, sometimes I was confused if this place is for public or not, the staff watches all your steps like watching dogs, what are they so afraid of? Absolutely brilliant, loved it! Had interesting activities for kids and adults alike, highly recommended👍🏼 This was an wonderful trip to ancient ruins, the museum was set up wonderfully, staff here were friendly and helpful. Walking the ruins was amazing after watching a 3d video of the ruins allowing you to imagine what they looked like. The biggest Roman Forum discovered in France. I was flabbergasted ! The place is impressive, the guided visit was excellent and the museum is great, well presented and documented without being too clustered. The collection of Bronzes from the Treasure unearthed in 1969 was so beautiful. I have seen pieces of this quality before, but never so many n the same place ! Well worth the visit. Came upon this wonderful Roman forum on a drive through the countryside. Was impressed by its size and accessibility. The small museum on site holds examples of items found on the site and in the local area. It is well worth a visit and I will be returning the next time I'm in the area. Very interesting insight into the life of the Gallo-romains. It's a pity that there is no English inside the museum. It gets better outside, in the forum space. Surprising quality of artifacts on display! There were several items so unusual I did not expect to see them here. Too bad that the 3D experience was not available and other things were not accessible simply due to lack of staff. Very interesting, great museum, I recommend the guided tour, very interesting, great value for money. The ruins of a Roman civic center. Changed into one of their biggest northern fortresses three centuries later... All on a Roman road hub.... What's not to like? Main focus is on french visitors. Google lens will quite effortlessly translate anything into my language of choice though.
