Secrets of excavations
Between 2009 and 2012, around fifteen archaeologists took turns studying all the traces left by man in the Souvignys basement for nearly 2,000 years.
This archaeological research has yielded unpublished archaeological documentation which sheds new light on knowledge of the origins of this agglomeration, as well as of its development between the castle of the Bourbons and the Cluniac priory.
Through a didactic, educational and scientific route, visitors will be immersed in a chronological circuit from antiquity to the end of the medieval period.
