Caumont-sur-Durance

During archeological excavation, scientists discovered a large pool in a roman garden, actually the largest ever discovered in roman Gaul. Its dimensions are 65 m length, 3,20 m width and 1,20 m depth. It's a major archeologic discovery.

The Roman Garden intends to remind us the luxuous roman villa and its wealthy garden which stood there 2000 years ago by creating a vegetal scenery.

Near Caumont goes the "Via Domitia", a major roman road linking Italy to Spain. There were built a real country palace with a wealthy garden and an outstanding view on the Luberon mountains.

The Roman Garden is open since July 2006. It is distributed in thematical gardens dedicated to gods and godess of roman mythology. An exhibition room presents the artefacts found during the excavation, evocative of splendour of the bygone Roman civilization.
