On the ancient road linking Burdigala to Aginnum, on the right bank of the Garonne, at a place known as Flaon, is a Gallo-Roman villa whose construction apparently dates from the 1st c. A.D., according to chance finds of coins and fibulae. The construction, ranged in terraces on the flank of the hill overhanging the river, has been excavated to a width of 25 m. Other ancient structures have been noted at La Peillas and Rance; all were destroyed in the invasion of A.D. 276.
