Clapier des Monges

This remarkable protected site is enhanced for the visitor by information panels. Archaeological excavations have revealed four rooms of a Gallo-Roman villa dating from the fifth to the third century BC. It is assumed that this would have been a stopover place for travellers making the journey between Bordeaux and Jerusalem. The area visible today is just one part of the original villa. According to researchers, the four rooms may well constitute a thermal baths.
