Pierre-Henry ROHMER (Fier Immo) (12 months ago)
Very old wine estate since the site includes a 4th century Gallo-Roman villa with magnificent mosaics as well as an old 12th century chapel Possible 1-hour visit by the passionate owner Very good wine and very warm welcome I did a tasting there with friends on the occasion of the 27th Loupiac and foie gras des landes days. We went from domain to domain by bike...!

An enigmatic place, the number of Roman artefacts and remains of constructions is very important there. The excavations have unfortunately ceased but the association of enthusiasts watches over this heritage of antiquity, hot water cold water, garden reception rooms, swimming pool, nothing was missing 2000 years ago. A unique place to visit. Thank you for the visit, to the guide and to his grandson!

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
