Thermes Romains du Mans, Roman archaeological site in Le Mans, France.
The Roman baths complex extends over 2,500 square meters beneath the School of Fine Arts, featuring octagonal room foundations and heating systems.
Built around 50 CE, the baths underwent expansions until 200 CE before their destruction in the late 3rd century for defensive wall construction.
The baths served as both a hygiene facility and a social center where Roman citizens gathered for political discussions and leisure activities.
Guided tours of the archaeological site operate Tuesday through Friday at 16:30, lasting 1 hour and 45 minutes with adult tickets at 6 euros.
Only one-third of the total bath complex has been excavated, with numerous ancient structures remaining underground and unexplored.
