Archaeological site - Gallo Roman Villa

Come and discover the hidden secrets of the Gallo-Roman villa in Saint-Saturnin-du-Bois!

The Gallo-Roman villa, located in the heart of the village, emerges from the ground and gradually reveals its history. From 2011 to 2021, the site was excavated every summer by archaeologists and revealed unexpected treasures, both in terms of knowledge and in terms of archaeological finds.
