Patrimoine antique vaudois

The canton of Vaud is rich in archaeological remains from all periods, particularly Roman ones. A map suggests routes to explore on foot or by bike, taking you to discover the towns (colonies and vici) and rural settlements (villae) inhabited by the Gallo-Romans and showcased by seven museums. Also worth visiting are Roman quarries, older remains such as menhirs, and medieval ruins.
