    • In the Pyrénées-Atlantiques in the heart of the territory of Luys en Béarn, the small village of Lalonquette has been home to an exceptional archaeological site for more than fifteen centuries: a Gallo-Roman villa.

      Located in North Béarn in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, the Gallo-Roman museum retraces the history of a Gallo-Roman rural establishment which was born and developed from the 1st to the 5th century AD. Based on an elaborate museography featuring the restored mosaics, it offers, thanks to a playful approach, the discovery of the specificities of the villa around various themes (daily life, aristocracy, agriculture, architecture, etc.) illustrated by the presentation of collections.

      Complementary to the visit to the museum, the interpretation trail and the site of the Gallo-Roman villa of Lalonquette are freely accessible 7 days a week. To accompany your discovery, audioguides are available for free download on smartphones via the izi.TRAVEL application.

      Many educational events and activities are offered throughout the year. Find all the cultural programming on the museum's website: www.musee-claracq.com

    A very interesting visit to this museum with a young, passionate and humorous guide. Then, a visit to the Gallo-Roman villa site, still with the same guide, to better understand the explanations given at the museum. A very lively experience that I recommend.

    Extremely rich museum to absolutely discover! We took the lecture tour for 2 adults and it was fascinating, then we returned on a self-guided tour with 2 children (9 and 11 years old) who loved it, very friendly welcome each time and we also really appreciated the shop/refreshment bar. The archaeological site was visited on each visit and is definitely worth a look, the reconstruction of the villa is fantastic!
