The Aubechies Archeosite takes you on a journey 5,000 years back into our past.
It's like an open-air museum, showing you the lives of successive populations of these regions through re-creations based on the findings from numerous archaeological digs.
Prehistory is illustrated by settlements from the Neolithic period to the second Iron Age, via the Bronze Age. And a Gallic house will introduce you to the Gallo-Roman period, represented by a temple, a necropolis, a villa and a barge (flat-bottomed boat).
From mid-April to mid-October, every Sunday, the site comes alive with artisan activities.
