Made up of 28,054 coins, some fifty jewels and precious objects, it is one of the most important treasures found in France. The museum collections tour invites you to dive into Antiquity: statues, architectural decorations, objects restored in their context tell you about the life of the ancient city of Elusa some 2000 years ago.

      The Archaeological Museum/Le Trésor d'Eauze is part of ELUSA Antique Capital. A unique and unique collection of 3 exceptional sites: young and old are invited to discover the secret of aristocratic residences, within the territory of the ancient city of Elusa. The Domus de Cieutat (urban house) offers an essential complement to a visit to the Villa de Séviac (house in the countryside), while the rich collections of the Archaeological Museum / Le Trésor d'Eauze (Musée de France) illustrate its refinement. To start your visit, go to the ELUSA Interpretation Centre in the ancient capital of ELUSA at Domus de Cieutat.

    Good regional museum concentrating on Gallo-Roman sites in the region. Displays nicely relate the artifacts to daily life in the Roman period. There are two associated museums/sites nearby that you can get reduced price tickets for. Well worth a visit.

    Highlight was seeing the 28,000 coins on display in almost mint condition. Never seen anything like it. Definitely worth a visit.
