Villa gallo-romaine de Mané-Vechen

The Gallo-Roman villa features a U-shaped layout organized around a central courtyard, with decorated rooms and an octagonal basin at its center.

Built in the late 2nd century, the villa served as a center for maritime trade and salt production until its abandonment in the early 4th century.

The reception hall contains preserved murals depicting Venus with two cupids, demonstrating the fusion of Roman and local Gallic artistic traditions.

The archaeological remains, classified as a historical monument since 2010, remain accessible through guided tours organized by local associations.

The building included a temperature-controlled storage facility with double walls, demonstrating advanced construction techniques for food preservation.
