Parc archéologique Asnapio, Archaeological park in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, France.

Parc archéologique Asnapio is a municipal archaeological park in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, next to the Parc du Héron, where dwellings from the Upper Paleolithic to the Middle Ages are rebuilt using the tools and techniques of each period. The buildings are reconstructed from excavations in northern France, and the park serves as a field of experimental archaeology. Its entrance sits under a red-tiled roof carried on cylindrical columns, between two pale greenish-yellow wings with brown trim and arched openings.

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.

The park's name comes from Annappes, the Carolingian form of the village that became part of Villeneuve-d'Ascq. Most visitors are regional school groups and families, who join guided or free visits from spring to autumn and workshops on fire-making, hunting, pottery and excavation. Weekend events mark the Journées du patrimoine and the archaeology days.

The park borders Parc du Héron in Villeneuve-d'Ascq and is served by the Lille metropolitan transport network, with several means of access for visitors from the Lille area and neighbouring French, Belgian and English regions. Guided or free visits run between spring and autumn; the entrance shown is reached by a grey concrete path past a low tan brick wall.

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.
