The remains of a cruciform dining room, protected in a museum area, can be seen here.

Here you'll find a fine villa, testimony to the aristocratic rural lifestyle of the Gallo-Roman era. History buffs will admire the mosaic-covered private baths. Among the rooms on display are a triclinium (cruciform dining room) and a vast reception room. But the highlight is the frigidarium, a cold bath covered with a mosaic of 16 square panels, 13 of which have miraculously survived.

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.

This place was a fantastic little find
The staff were so welcoming & do a little introduction to the site inside the building.
You are then set free to wander around the site for as long as you wish to.

Lovely peaceful setting & amazing to see the floors so beautifully preserved after so many centuries have passed

Nice old gallo-roman ruins around old church. Well preserved mosaics. Quick 30 minutes visit around the site.

Un petit musée au coeur d'un village très agréable. Une entrée qui n'est pas cher et le tout très intéressant à écouter et à découvrir.

Très beau lieu historique mais, contrairement à ce que pourrait laisser croire le logo dans Google, le site n'est pas entièrement accessible; seules deux salles le sont (ce qu'indique le site Internet de la villa), et ce, gratuitement. En fauteuil on peut donc voir une salle avec des objets découverts lors des fouilles (attention, certaines vitrines sont très hautes et ne permettent pas de voir les objets si on est en fauteuil ou pour les enfants: c'est dommage !). On a une jolie vue sur l'église et les fondations de la salle de réception. La deuxième salle donne accès à la salle à manger de la villa avec de très belles mosaïques bien préservées.
Un bel endroit donc mais qui devrait faire encore des progrès sur l'accessibilité.
