Thermes de Cluny, Ancient Roman thermal baths in Latin Quarter, France
The Thermes de Cluny feature a preserved frigidarium with 14-meter-high vaulted ceilings and original wall structures dating from the 3rd century.
The thermal complex, constructed by the guild of boatmen in Roman Lutetia, stretched across 6,000 square meters between Boulevard Saint-Michel and Saint-Germain.
The public baths incorporated different temperature rooms, including caldarium and tepidarium, reflecting Roman bathing traditions in ancient Gaul.
The archaeological remains are integrated into the National Museum of the Middle Ages, accessible through multiple Metro lines and RER stations.
The walls display opus vittatum mixtum construction technique with alternating layers of limestone and horizontal bricks, plus decorative ship reliefs on consoles.

The Quartier Latin combines Roman ruins, medieval churches, and historic universities. The Arènes de Lutèce displays Roman origins, while the Sorbonne and Collège de France represent academic tradition. Between old libraries and botanical gardens, narrow streets lead to hidden squares and traditional cafés.
