Site gallo-romain de Barzan

The archaeological site spans forty hectares and contains remnants of a Roman port city with temples, baths, warehouses, and a theater.

Excavations beginning in 1994 revealed structures from the second century CE, when this settlement functioned as a major Atlantic coastal port.

The museum displays artifacts and reconstructions that demonstrate the social and economic organization of Gallo-Roman civilization in ancient France.

The site welcomes visitors from March 30 to November 11, with extended hours during school holidays and summer months.

A windmill stands atop the foundations of an ancient Roman temple, illustrating the medieval repurposing of classical architecture.
