The village of Chassenon has preserved remarkable evidence of the Gallo-Roman period and especially of the ancient village of Cassinomagus. The Cassinomagus thermal baths, remains dating from the end of the 1st century, are open to the public and feature underground rooms, boilers, swimming pools and hot and cold rooms. Heaven for archaeology fans...
Cassinomagus, the ancient name of Chassenon, is one of the best preserved ancient archaeological sites in Europe! Former Gallo-Roman agglomeration of the Lémovice territory (current Limousin), its fame comes from a monumental ensemble composed of a sanctuary with a temple, a building for shows and thermal baths built in the 2nd century AD
Today, Cassinomagus is a living site to visit with the family: virtual reality, journey of the Gods, escape game, visits for all, remains and gardens to discover over more than 15 hectares. Throughout the season, many activities and events allow you to discover or rediscover history!
