Site archéologique de Villards d'Héria

The archaeological site of the Gallo-Roman sanctuary at Villards d'Héria is open for guided tours throughout the summer, until the Heritage Days.

Since 2019, the site has been the focus of new archaeological research aimed at understanding the occupation of the area, its continuity and its evolution. The aim of these excavations, and of the material recovered from the earlier digs, is to gain a deeper understanding of the site before it can be developed further.

Classified as one of the very first archaeological sites in France, it is one of the major Gallo-Roman sites in Franche-Comté.

The sanctuary at Villards d'Héria has been the subject of several excavation campaigns, enabling us to bring back to life the splendour of the main sanctuary of the Sequans. At the "Pont des Arches", the remains of various structures can still be seen: temples, a sacred fountain, pools and offering trunks.

The site is open from 15 June to 21 September.
