Tour de Grisset, Roman temple ruins in Fréteval, France.

The Tour de Grisset stands as a square temple measuring 7.15 meters in height with walls reaching 1.80 meters in thickness.

Archaeological excavations in the 1960s revealed a bath complex and multiple structures, indicating the presence of a secondary Roman settlement.

The temple structure represents a fusion of Roman architectural techniques with local materials, including limestone, sandstone, and terracotta elements.

Visitors can access the site by following a 300-meter path along the N10 road from the Ormois roundabout in Fréteval.

The structure maintains its original brick vault, making it one of the rare surviving examples of intact Gallo-Roman temple architecture.
