One of the Top rateds in Chassenon Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. Roman baths which were excavated last century and now a visitor center. Guides, including audio available in English. Well worth visiting. For imagining the functionality of a large complex bath and hygiene facility I thought it was illustrative. It doesn't have the mosaic and artistic interest of say, a villa. The audio guide was good, though it stopped for us and we had to spend some time getting it to work Not great for non French people. They had run out of audio tours so as we made our way round we had to guess at what it was we were looking at because all signs were in French. They clearly have ambitious plans and if they continue as they have started it will be a fantastic tourist attraction. Really interesting place, would recommend a visit if you're in the area Went to the meteorite display, very interesting. The ruins and grounds are a great way to explore the Romans. We are so lucky to live a few kilometres away and we always send our guests from our gite there Essentially, a big field that contains some extraordinary archaeological finds that have been protected from the elements for permanent display. The highlight is the well-preserved ruin of a giant Roman bath complex. Elsewhere, there are the ruins of an impressive aquaduct (used to get water to the bath house among other things) and a tumulus - covered in scrubby trees - of a Roman temple. The reception building (built over the aquaduct) houses a display of funds from the site, a shop, loos, and a cafe. I took the headphones guides tour, which was good - even if I could quite follow the designated trail. Costa less than 10 euros. Like lots of things in France, a bit shabby, dusty and haphazard, but interesting! For those who loves archaeological sites, it is a well-deserved spot to visit. English guide is included and the staff are friendly. For adults 7 EUR pp and 3 EUR per child is the costs. A remarkable Roman baths and associated temple site. Well worth a visit. Helpful staff,good English audio guide and documentation.
