Théâtre gallo-romain des Bardiaux

The stone structure measures 45 meters long by 40 meters wide, featuring six concentric terraces that served as seating arrangements for spectators.

Archaeological excavations in the 1970s revealed this second-century theatre, along with numerous Roman coins and artifacts from the settlement period.

The theatre served both as an entertainment venue and a public gathering space, accommodating between 600 and 700 people in its wooden benches.

The site stands at 590 meters altitude, utilizing the natural slope of the terrain for the construction of its terraced seating arrangement.

A 16-centimeter statuette, known as the Lady of Bardiaux, was discovered at the site and now resides in the Rolin Museum of Autun.
