Vieux-la-Romaine Museum

Vieux-la-Romaine Museum houses artifacts gathered over three centuries of excavations in the ancient city of Aregenua. The collection includes pottery, tools, jewelry, and household items that show how people lived during the Roman occupation from the first to fourth centuries.

Aregenua was an important city during Roman rule and archaeological evidence shows its development from a settlement into an established urban center. The remains spanning four centuries document the shift from Celtic settlement to complete Roman integration.

Regular exhibitions, demonstrations, and educational workshops introduce visitors to archaeological methods and ancient Roman civilization techniques.

The museum is open daily with clear routes through the display areas and preserved archaeological structures on the grounds. Wearing comfortable shoes is wise since many sections involve outdoor areas with uneven surfaces.

Beyond the museum's indoor collection, visitors can walk through two restored Roman houses that reveal how ordinary people lived day to day. The exposed forum allows you to move about in an actual public space where residents once gathered.
