Visit with my friends, with a very very affordable price for the broke students that we are. Benoît's guided tour taught us a lot and also amused us, the place is brand new and very didactic. Special mention to team 2 and Benoît who helped create an unforgettable memory for us! See you soon !

On vacation with 7 friends, we passed by by chance and what a surprise. An exciting guided tour punctuated with fine humor and anecdotes just as interesting as the history of this villa. Big kisses to Benoît, thank you for the experience.

Great discovery of the day: a renovated and very educational museum. Note a very friendly welcome and clear explanations from an enthusiast (doctor in archeology). The idea of presenting the museum's reserves as well as the researchers' work area to visitors is an undeniable plus. Thanks ! It is better to browse the museum before going to the site of the villa.

A recently renovated museum with beautiful collections and a very playful presentation! The activities of the Night of the Museums on Saturday May 14th were very nice: visit, creative workshop, Gallo-Roman aperitif... This museum, as well as the Gallo-Roman Villa and the educational trail that connects them, are worth the detour!

Perfect for young and old. The guide is captivating. The “excavation” workshop is great for kids.

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
