This place was a fantastic little find The staff were so welcoming & do a little introduction to the inside the building. You are then set free to wander around the for as long as you wish to. Lovely peaceful setting & amazing to see the floors so beautifully preserved after so many centuries have passed Our group visited and enjoyed the experience. One of the employees provided an initial overview then we were free to take the self-guided tour around the exterior of the facility. The mosaics are in good condition given their age and it was fun to read the signboards as we worked our way through the tour. Very educational. Recommend. Nice old gallo-roman ruins around old church. Well preserved mosaics. Quick 30 minutes visit around the site. 100 a. Chr. n. built, used till 6. Century. Great mosaics from late antiquity. Lovely period, innit? The transition. Diocletian, yeah? Medieval dispensation? Beginning of the Long Afternoon (shoot them wood pigeons, lol). Got a lovely picture of me boy here, but ain't gonna post it, cos, you know, that ain't right these days If you are interested in the Gallo Romans then this is a must visit site. Ruins of a vast villa with baths, heating system and some impressive mosaics. A mediaeval church is built on part of the site, the monks used stone from the villa. Website clearly states opening times but I arrived on Thursday 15th February 2024 at 10:30 to find place is closed. French gardener says closed on Thursday - Thankyou for a wasted journey and kindly update your website !! Well presented site, with friendly, helpful staff. Absolutely amazing mosaics, one of the best archaeological sites I’ve visited.
