Montmaurin, Archaeological site in Montmaurin and Lespugue, France.

The archaeological complex contains two notable Gallo-Roman villas, Villa Lassalles and Villa Hillère, spread across multiple hectares of preserved ancient structures.

The Villa Lassalles, constructed in the second century and rebuilt in the fourth century after a flood, represents one of the largest Roman residential structures in France.

The discovery of animal bones and stone tools at Montmaurin provides evidence of human settlements dating back to the Upper Paleolithic period.

The site opens from 10:00 to 18:00 between May and August, with reduced hours from September through April, offering guided tours for 5 euros per person.

The Villa Hillère incorporates a natural spring that attracted settlers from Neolithic times through the Middle Ages, when it became a pilgrimage destination.
