In the valley, just below the high plateau, is the Gallo-Roman theater, the discovery of which dates back to 1985. It was almost completely explored and exposed during several excavation campaigns between 1999 and 2007/2008. The theater was built in the early 2nd century AD in a rock ledge formed by a quarry. After several phases of reconstruction, the rows of seats made of large blocks of stone were added towards the end of the 2nd century, 8 of which have survived to this day. The two front rows, which are characterized by backrests, armrests and backrests, are places of honor. In fact, it is the only reliable evidence of such honorary ranks in Gaul to date. At that time, the theater could seat over 3,500 people before it was no longer used as a venue and meeting place in its original intended form at the end of the 3rd century.
