A remarkable site surrounded by nature, in excavated condition. Nature has reclaimed its rights over the buildings but the panels perfectly explain the history of the site and make you want to learn about the history of the Médoc. To see if you are passionate about archeology and history.

An interesting site that mixes several different eras. Panels explain the locations of the buildings, a nice circuit allows you to browse the different points of interest. Only downside the path has been redone but it is chaotic.

Too bad the site is abandoned. The tall grass masks the remains. Free of course, but the discovery side of the site is limited.

The ruins are in surprisingly good condition, it's a shame the site itself isn't kept in a better state. There's kind of a path that you can walk along but really it's just that the grass has been cut back, so it's not disabled-friendly. The signs around the site are faded and difficult to read too. It's a shame as it's an interesting place to visit and there are no restrictions so you can stand on the actual ruins. Worth a visit if you're in the area, but not worth a detour otherwise.

Weird. What could be a really interesting location is, to the naked eye, just some vestigial ruins in a field. But dig a little deep and it can be appreciated. Some areas previously excavated have been covered over to protect them. There are some information panels, sadly a couple are now faded to the point of being illegible. The site is in the middle of nowhere (these days!) and is completely open to the elements. No fences, no gates, no people.
