Site archéologique de Verdes, Archaeological site in Beauce la Romaine, France.

The archaeological complex spans 25 hectares and contains remains of Roman baths, a basilica, a forum, and two small temples at an ancient road intersection.

The first excavations of thermal baths occurred in 1856, revealing a settlement that flourished between the 1st and 3rd centuries as a regional center.

A mosaic with a labyrinth pattern from the thermal baths is now preserved at the Museum of Fine Arts in Blois as a testament to local artistry.

The site remains under protection of the Regional Archaeological Service, with architectural elements like the palestra and residential areas identified through geophysical studies.

The Romans constructed an artificial pond spanning 23 hectares, reaching depths of 4 meters, which provided fish to inhabitants until its drainage in 1850.
