Museum located in Deneuvre, near Baccarat, presents the wealth of the archaeological site discovered in 1974

At the Shrine of Hercules, created around 150, pilgrims came to bathe in the purifying water gushing from natural springs and made a vow. That this wish came true and the pilgrim offered an ex-voto. The sanctuary has been faithfully reconstructed thanks to the indications of archaeologists who have been excavating the site for 12 years. This museum, located in Deneuvre, near Baccarat, presents the richness of the archaeological site discovered in 1974: 70 statues dedicated to Hercules and fashioned from the same stone, three basins and small objects (from the 2nd to the 4th century AD). The importance of this collection makes this site the most important sanctuary ever discovered in Gaul.

Belle endroit a voir au moins une fois, petit a visité mais très bien fait et ludique.

Tout à fait acceptable pour le lieu mais je n' ai jamais vu un guichetier qui en connaissait si peu sur le musée et ses alentours. Une formation à minima serait souhaitable. Ce n est pas une casquette de guide qui fait de vous un véritable guide... Dommage. Et enfin n hésitez pas à enlever vos écouteurs quand vous parlez avec les visiteurs...

J'ai bien aimé. La restitution exacte du sanctuaire est une telle réussite. Félicitations au travail remarquable de la société d'archéologie de Deneuvre.

"... Ainsi fut mis au jour le plus important sanctuaire de sources dédié à Hercule jamais découvert en Gaule. Les traces d'une certaine de statues d'Hercule furent découvertes à Deneuvre ce qui en fait la plus importante concentration de l'Occident Romain".

Super musée qui mérite le détour... excellente explication avant la visite...un lieu improbable et pourtant chargé d'histoire gallo-romaine
