An audio-guide and the voice of an archaeologist lead visitors through the ages and the vestiges unearthed in the ancient capital of the Vellavi people.Our exploration of the history of Saint-Paulien continues with a visit to the town.
Saint-Paulien has undergone many transformations down the centuries.
From the Gallic oppidum (fortified town) to the Gallo-Roman capital of the Velay region and the medieval town, the Pomarat Museum is a journey back in time through the eyes of the archaeologist helping us decipher the town’s vestiges.
The museum is like an excavation site, a place of treasures, maps and unearthed artefacts. Very ancient objects have been found in the earth here: a mosaic, amphoras, tools, stones and jewellery. They are the clues, and our investigations and labelling begin with them. In July and August, from Monday morning to Sunday lunchtime – last admission 1 hour before closing. Reservation required the rest of the year.
Periode d‘ouverture : Summer
From 01/07 to 31/08.
Closed Monday, Saturday and Sunday.
