• The oppidum civilisation. Ensérune has remains dating from the 6th century BC to the 1st century AD. Lying at the intersection of various land and sea routes, the town was the centre of the region’s rapid commercial development. Ceramics unearthed by excavations carried out since 1915 reveal the progressive intermingling of Celto-Iberian populations and Mediterranean civilisations.

What people think about it J'ai visité le site (le site réel je veux dire) aujourd'hui. Magnifique. Cependant je regrette que les explications sur le lac asséché ne soient disponibles qu'à l'intérieur du site payant. Il me semblerait opportun d'installer un panneau explicatif à l'extérieur du village, la culture devant être accessible a tous. Je me doute que celà ne relève pas de vos compétences mais plutôt de celle de la commune alors merci de transmettre. Bravo pour le travail accompli.
