I told you there was another place of interest after leaving that charming little road along the Loir River.

We stopped in the past. In a time when people were still speaking latin, during the Roman era. Indeed, we arrived at a big archaeologic site, with lots of Roman ruins.

The two first photos are of a temple :

And here is a photo of thermae :

Here is a market place:

In the background of the second one, you can see the small hill along which was the charming road...
On the top of that hill there is an oppidum we hope to visit soon.

And there an amphitheatre :

I hope you enjoyed the tour.

That's all i have so far to show you. More to come, but i do not know when. It will depend on when I find some time to go site seing!!! So please, be patient!

Beary hugs,
Sophie.

It is amazing Sophie to see all this "history" around you. Here in Australia, the oldest building we ever see is about 200 years, and that is ancient for us. It must be amazing to have these ruins so close to be able to visit. I think you are living in wonderland!!
