Site archéologique de Vienne-en-Val

The archaeological complex contains multiple layers of excavated structures, including two churches and ancient Gallo-Roman architectural elements scattered across the area.

Initial excavations in 1968 during sanitation work revealed sculpted blocks from the Gallo-Roman period, which were preserved by archaeologists Jacques Debal and Gilbert Charles-Picard.

The site features a stone base with Roman deity illustrations potentially connected to a Jupiter sanctuary, dating from the second century CE.

The lapidary museum established after the excavations displays numerous artifacts found at the site, documenting habitat evolution from antiquity through medieval times.

Archaeological investigations uncovered two distinct churches: one from the Merovingian period and another from the tenth century, both built on the same location.
