Site gallo-romain et mérovingien d'Escolives-Sainte-Camille, Archaeological site in Escolives-Sainte-Camille, France.

The excavated Roman villa contains extensive thermal baths with cold pools and heated rooms, arranged around a large rectangular courtyard with surrounding corridors.

The site, discovered in 1955, documents continuous human presence from the late first century BCE through the eighth century CE.

The archaeological remains include Roman wall paintings depicting mythological scenes and plant motifs that demonstrate the artistic techniques of the period.

Regular guided tours explain the structures and artifacts found at this protected historical monument located 10 kilometers south of Auxerre.

A 200-meter street lined with agricultural buildings extends along the villa complex, complemented by a Merovingian cemetery containing 350 graves.
