Vivier maritime de la Gaillarde, Ancient fish pond and archaeological site in Roquebrune-sur-Argens, France.
Three masonry basins carved into the rock remain visible beneath the water surface, separated by walls at the maritime location.
The Roman fish pond, constructed between the 1st and 3rd centuries CE, served to keep fish fresh and possibly produce garum sauce.
The preservation of this maritime structure provides evidence of Roman fishing practices and their advanced water management technologies.
The site is accessible via bus line 876 connecting Saint-Tropez to Saint-Raphaël, with a stop at Beaumont near the location.
A nearby cistern discovery suggests the site combined fresh fish storage with garum sauce production in the Roman period.
