A site with a reception and discovery center that exhibits the main features of human societies over time.

1.5 km south of Saint Père, the site of the Fontaines Salées owes its name to the resurgence of salt water springs that were captured 4,300 years ago (Final Neolithic) by means of oak casings that are still in place. The remains of a vast thermal bath dating from the 1st to the 3rd centuries of our era, still testify to the continuity of human occupation. The reception and archaeological discovery center, recently created on the site, exposes the main features of human societies spread over time, from the Neolithic to Antiquity.

Visite sympathique, mais courte. Intéressant de voir d'aussi vieux vestiges encore assez bien visibles.

Site exceptionnel !
En revanche aucune accessibilité à vélo/pieds (alors que c'est juste à côté de Vézelay et Avallon). Seul moyen d'y arriver : une départementale à 90km/h. On est venu à vélo et on a risque notre vie plusieurs fois. Par ailleurs, il y a un grand parking devant la site, mais les quelques arceaux à vélos se trouvent en bas des escaliers qui mènent au site......

Très intéressant à visiter. Partie expo sur les pièces trouvées et parties extérieures bien documentées.

Beau site avec un musée et un historique qui reste étonnant et permet d'apercevoir que l'on a rien inventé...?!
