All the roads lead to Rome. But in France, it is also Rome that is visible to you. The Romans not only did throw slaves in front of the lions or wage war against Vercingetorix by installing colonies in the four corners of Gaul from the end of the 2nd century BC. J.-C., but also, they implanted their architecture and their art.

Technical prowess, rigorous and pragmatic town planning, colossal monuments, or fine decorations, proves that Roman civilization is undeniably a civilization of artists and builders. But now, the centuries have passed, and very often, these wonders have disappeared.

Fortunately, not all of them. Some Roman monuments still and always resist the ravages of time! Sometimes sheltered in museums, sometimes living spaces, the Roman remains in France still have many stories to tell.
