Les Bolards, Archaeological site in Nuits-Saint-Georges, France.

Les Bolards is an archaeological site near Nuits-Saint-Georges containing ruins from the Gallo-Roman period. The area includes remains of temples, sanctuaries, houses, and workshops that show how communities lived and worked together in this ancient settlement.

The site was occupied from the Bronze Age, but mainly from the 1st century BC until the end of the Roman Empire, with a population decline in the second half of the 5th century. Local finds were known from the 17th century, and the mithraeum was uncovered in December 1948 by Paul and André Vacherot with Louis Roux. Systematic excavations ran from 1964 to 1985 under Ernest Planson, then Colette Pommeret.

The sanctuary area holds four temples. Three succeeded one another on the same spot: the primitive fanum, the Augustan fanum and the Grand Temple, whose hexastyle Corinthian front recalls Roman models while its plan follows Gallic fana. Beside the Grand Temple enclosure stands a smaller mithraeum, a temple to the god Mithra.

Access to the site is sometimes restricted, but the local museum offers regular tours and provides information about what to see. It helps to check ahead before visiting since not all areas are always open to visitors.

The site's ancient name is lost; "Les Bolards" likely dates from the Middle Ages. Aerial surveys by René Goguey in the 1960s estimated the settlement at about twenty hectares, while Catalan sources suggest over 25. The Grand Temple mixes a Gallic fanum plan with a Corinthian hexastyle fronton.
