Go on a journey 7000 years back to our past. This open-air museum introduces populations that have followed one another in our regions through various reconstructions based on the plans of archaeological digs.
Prehistory is represented by various habitats ranging from the Neolithic to the Second Iron Age including the Bronze Age. Also discover the Gallo-Roman era represented by a temple, a necropolis and a villa as well as a boat typical of river navigation in Gaulle.
