Tips

Briga was a Gallo-Roman town which prefigured the city of Eu. The site corresponds to a secondary city of the Early Roman Empire whose surface area is currently estimated at more than 65 ha.
The remains of the ancient city, hidden under the forest for more than a millennium, were only rediscovered at the end of the 18th century, when it was decided to extend the road from Eu into the forest. Even today, excavations are organized every year in summer.
But the origins of the site seem to date back before the Roman occupation. In the current state of knowledge, it is the sanctuary which seems to be the oldest point of occupation, and to derive its existence from a place of Celtic worship which dates back to the 3rd century BC. AD
Impossible to miss it, the small road passes right in the middle of the site...
