Espace d’interprétation du gallo-romain

The Gallo-Roman Interpretation Center will give you all the keys to understanding the archaeological site of Les Bouchauds. The Bouchauds site is located in the town of Saint-Cybardeaux, a few kilometers from the town of Rouillac.

It consists of two elements:
- the archaeological site which, to date, includes a sanctuary and one of the largest Gallo-Roman theaters in France.
- the Gallo-Roman Interpretation Area.

Before exploring the Gallo-Roman site of Les Bouchauds, come and visit the Gallo-Roman Interpretation Center. Housed in an old Charente farmhouse built in 1846, this space presents drawings, models, and videos that will give you the keys to understanding the archaeological site.
After your visit to the interpretation area, go to the Bouchauds hill for a visit to the archaeological site which is one of the most beautiful Gallo-Roman sites in France. Indeed, the theater is one of the largest in rural Gaul.
Added to this is the incomparable charm of the site, the best example of which is the view you can have of the surrounding landscape, once you are at the top of the Bouchauds hill.

The archaeological site is freely accessible all year round. The interpretation space is open during school holidays.
