The archaeological site of Les Cars is one of the most remarkable ancient sites in the Limousin. Between moors and forests, on the Plateau de Millevaches, granite blocks whisper to us a history that is almost 2000 years old. It takes us on the trail of these Gallo-Romans who came to settle in the lands of Haute-Corrèze in the 2nd century A.D. But who were they? How did they live here? Clues are hidden in the thousand-year-old stones in front of you: here is the plan of a villa crossed by water, there are large mausoleums emerging from the chaos... Your imagination runs wild, your archaeologist's soul awakens. To guide you through this journey back in time, mediators are present on site all summer, not far from a small sunny terrace.
This site was rediscovered by Marius Vazeilles at the beginning of the 20th century. The archaeological pieces of the site can be discovered at the Musée d'Archéologie et du Patrimoine Marius Vazeilles in Meymac.
Free access all year round.
