Gisacum Archaeological Site - Le Vieil-Évreux : info and guided tour

Introduction to the Archaeological Site of Gisacum – Le Vieil-Evreux

The archaeological site of Gisacum, in Le Vieil-Évreux, consists of the remains of a vast Gallo-Roman settlement located a few kilometers from Évreux. Identified as an important ancient center, it offers insight into the layout of a Roman-era town through its streets, public monuments, and circulation spaces.

The site is best known for its urban complex, where the baths, roads, and public buildings bear witness to a developed settlement. Excavations have revealed traces of monumental architecture that help us understand daily life, bathing practices, and the civic importance of this ancient city.

On site, visitors can observe remains preserved in the landscape, as well as archaeological interpretation elements that make the outline of the former town visible. Gisacum stands out for the scale of its layout and for the quality of the information it provides about Romanization in Normandy.

This site is appreciated as much for its scientific interest as for its immersive character: it offers a concrete vision of a vanished Gallo-Roman town, without being confined behind the walls of a traditional museum. The combination of ruins, urban footprint, and archaeological discoveries makes it an emblematic site of local ancient heritage.
