Site antique de Néris-les-Bains, Archaeological site in Néris-les-Bains, France.

The excavation area contains multiple Gallo-Roman buildings, a road network, and structural remains with lime mortar walls and tile fragments.

The site reveals a Roman settlement from the 1st century CE, when the town evolved from Nériomagos to Aquae Nerii under Roman influence.

The discovered bas-reliefs include a frieze depicting Triton, the Greek sea god, alongside architectural elements suggesting connections to ancient funeral practices.

The archaeological site features glass-covered displays of Merovingian sarcophagi at the base of Saint George's Church, accessible throughout the year.

Twenty-one sandstone blocks with detailed bas-reliefs were uncovered, including a 55-inch diameter conical element intended for a circular spire.
