Maison à la cour en U de Vieux-la-Romaine

The U-shaped Courtyard House is a Gallo-Roman house located in the archaeological site of Vieux-la-Romaine, the ancient Aregenua, approximately 10 kilometers south of Caen in Normandy. Although it is less opulent than the grand peristyle house of Vieux-la-Romaine, which is regarded as the most impressive private building on the site at the beginning of the 21st century, this discovery is nevertheless noteworthy insofar as it sheds light on the diversity within the society of a small Gallo-Roman town. In consequence of the aforementioned discovery, a resolution was reached to augment the remains with a view to rekindling interest in the site as a local tourist attraction. The enhancement project for the remains also constituted an occasion for the participation of building and social integration training organisations in the operation.
