An impressive Gallo-Roman site lies along the Cher Valley tourist route: Les Maselles.
These imposing structures have long intrigued both visitors and specialists—antique dealers, archaeologists, historians… Each offers a theory (some more credible than others) about the role of these enigmatic buildings.
For today’s visitor, the Maselles are the most immediately visible remains of Tasciaca, the ancient name of Thésée. However, many of the largest remains lie underground or appear only a few centimetres above the surface.
Some have been excavated, such as the fanum in Pouillé, while others after being studied, have been reburied to ensure their preservation.
