Great little museum, very modern with lots of interesting information about the excavations. The place is now a lonely country town, but in Roman time it was an important regional center. Plenty of insight into the history of the excavations and into daily life in a late antique Roman province. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The museum has a lot to offer for kids. Many of the objects can be touched. Also there are many inscriptions in Braille. Wheelchair access is possible without problems. The exterior is styled like a beautiful little park with lots of space to explore.
Excellently presented, beautiful very modern building with lots of natural light. There are also many interesting outdoor display about the way th e Gallo romans lived, cooked, made pottery, built walls and tended their gardens. I was also treated with a visit of the impressive forum - call ahead to book a spot.
My wife and I have had a home in Normandy for almost twenty years. We thought we'd been everywhere work visiting within easy reach from our place until we discovered Vieux-la-Romaine in a book we unearthed one day recently. We took a run up there and were pleasantly surprised by what we encountered. We were welcomed into the museum just in time to see a very realistic display of gladiatorial combat carried out by two young men who were really going for it. The museum, we discovered next, gave a good insight into life in Roman times, including artefacts and we'll presented displays. Afterwards we walked out from the museum and across a lane onto the site of the Roman villa which was very impressive. There were no barriers to the villa, so therefore it can be visited at any time, no need to visit the museum should it be closed, no tickets or fees payable, and plenty of parking space.
Some nicely preserved roman archeological sites, with an extensive display of artefacts in the museum. It could do with somewhere to buy refreshments, though.
Great find in the middle of the Normandy countryside. Staff are very accommodating and you can explore the site and their finds
very tidy and professionell
