Roman baths of Alauna, Roman thermal complex in Valognes, France.

The thermal complex extends over 1,225 square meters with symmetrical rooms arranged on both sides of a central axis near the Merderet valley.

Built during the second half of the first century in the Gallo-Roman city of Alauna, the baths remained active for two centuries.

The baths followed the architectural design similar to the baths of Nero in Rome, reflecting Roman bathing practices in northern Gaul.

The archaeological garden containing the thermal ruins stands 12 meters high and receives visitors through guided tours organized by local associations.

The thermal complex maintained its visible presence in the landscape since antiquity and received official monument status in 1862.
