No need for a magic potion to feel like you're in an Asterix comic: in Rieux-Volvestre, just an hour from Toulouse, a genuine Roman camp has come to life. Situated right across from the famous Gaulish village of the Archéosite, this new historical backdrop immerses visitors in an ancient face-to-face encounter that's as spectacular as it is authentic, as explained by Actu Toulouse. Because while Goscinny and Uderzo taught us to love camps like Babaorum or Petibonum, here we’re talking about a meticulous reconstruction that is 100% true to archaeological reality.
These Romans are crazy!
Welcome to a castrum, the temporary camp of the Roman Republic, where you can discover the iron discipline of the legionaries, their clever fortifications, their tents, their defense methods… and their daily life. A glimpse of
of often hidden History that perfectly complements the Gallic vision already presented by the site. The idea? To showcase the two worlds that faced each other more than 2,000 years ago and to tell the story of Antiquity in a different way: playful, educational, and immersive.Voir cette publication sur Instagram
Originally designed for school groups, but open to everyone starting this Ascension weekend, the Roman camp is making its debut for the public! And the great news is that it’s not just a flash in the pan: the installation will be available all summer long. It's the perfect chance to leap back in time, explore classics in a new way… and realize that History, when told well, can be just as exciting as a blockbuster movie!
