Gallo-Roman Sanctuary at Bû, Gallo-Roman archaeological sanctuary in Bû, France.
The sanctuary contains two consecutively built fana with flint and lime mortar foundations, located near a Roman road connecting Paris to Dreux.
The site shows continuous occupation from the first to fourth century, with an initial temple built during Nero's reign and a larger second temple constructed later.
The discovery of votive offerings depicting eyes indicates the place was dedicated to deities associated with healing eye diseases.
The archaeological site lies in a clearing twelve kilometers from Dreux and opens to visitors during Heritage Days in September.
Excavations revealed additional structures interpreted as pilgrim lodging, with military artifacts indicating the presence of Roman soldiers.
