Glanum lies just out side St Remy de Provence.
It has some of the finest Roman structures outside Italy, dating to 6BC.
The village was abandoned in the 3rd Century when it was overrun by barbarians.
There are the remains of the market square, assembly rooms, a 'Spa' and gymnasium! and a wine store where smoke was used to preserve the wine.
Those Romans sure knew how to live.
This is part of the drainage system, hand carved from stone.
One of the baths which would have been covered from the sun.
With entrance at just 7€ this is a must do for everyone visiting the area.
