Cassinomagus Parc Archéologique

The most monumental Gallo-Roman thermal baths in France!
Chassenon - Charente, between Angoulême and Limoges

Cassinomagus is an archaeological park and place of immersion in Roman Gaul: monumental remains, shows, excavation workshops, an Escape
Game, a mythological labyrinth, a Gallo-Roman farm.

Living in the time of the Gallo-Romans

The remains of the Cassinomagus baths in Chassenon (Charente 16) are among the best preserved ancient buildings in France.
In order to explore the archaeological park which extends over 15 hectares, several choices are available to the visitor: a self-guided tour with or without an audio guide, a complete guided tour of the remains, the mini-farm area, or a tour accompanied by a costumed Gallo-Roman who will take you back in time! Our spaces offer day-long discoveries with the exhibition (its archaeological objects and its 3D reconstruction film), the Pliny the Elder Botanical Garden, the orchard, the animal meadow and its historical or preserved breeds... For families: the Labyrinth of the Parcours des Dieux, the ancient playground, the excavation squares, the costumes to dress up as a Gallo-Roman and the game booklet to explore the park allow you to spend an unforgettable moment.

For the summer of 2025, the new sound tour as well as the new spaces of the farm and presentation of Roman construction techniques offer young and old a fabulous adventure by immersing themselves in ancient history!
Family workshops, seasonal activities during the holidays, the Great Antique Days (reenactment) and the sound and light show “From Cobrandia to the birth of Cassinomagus” make this Gallo-Roman site more alive than ever!
