Parc archéologique Asnapio

Parc archéologique Asnapio is an open-air museum in Villeneuve-d'Ascq featuring reconstructed buildings from different periods of northern France's past. The structures span from the Neolithic era through the Middle Ages and show how people lived and worked in each period.

The site is based on archaeological discoveries from the region and reconstructs building methods that span thousands of years of history. These reproductions are grounded in scientific research and regional excavations.

Experimental archaeology methods demonstrate the construction techniques and daily activities of past societies through tangible reconstructions and demonstrations.

The park is located within Parc du Héron and is easy to reach by car. The grounds are flat with well-maintained paths that make it simple to visit the different structures.

All structures were built using historically accurate tools and techniques that people actually used in each period. This helps visitors understand how labor-intensive and time-consuming construction was in earlier times.
