ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE OF AUBIGNÉ-RACAN

4 km from the village of Aubigné-Racan, this Gallo-Roman archaeological site allows you to admire vestiges of the most diverse and preserved buildings of the Sarthe. On this plain already occupied in the Gallo era, set in the second century after J.-C. a theatre of 3 000 places, a market-forum, a large temple and thermal baths. These monumental symbols of romanization will be active until the fourth century after J.-C. Excavated from 1975 by Mr. Lambert and Mr. Rioufreyt, this site has since been restored. It is currently owned by the General Council of La and is being promoted by the association Capra. In an accessible way for persons with reduced mobility and an illustrated signage guide the visitor to the discovery of ancient Sarthe.
