It was in the 2nd and 3rd centuries that a large semi-subterranean complex was built on the site of the forum. Composed of three large main galleries arranged in a U-shape, each one is vaulted, supported by square pillars. Located in the heart of the ancient city, this crypto-portal was to serve as a covered forum, meeting place and commercial centre. It was originally shaped like a rectangle open on one of its long sides; it was about a hundred metres long and fifty metres wide. Only the eastern gallery remains today. This classified historical monument hosts temporary exhibitions.

To do like the Rémois (es): All summer long, you will regularly find concerts, go ahead!

La galerie que vous visiterez s'étend sur 60 mètres de longueur et 9,50 mètres de largeur. Elle est divisée en deux vaisseaux séparés par une rangée de piliers et couvertes de voûtes d'arête en plein cintre. Les murs sont construits en petit appareil, classique à cette époque, alors que les voûtes sont faites d'un béton de tuileau, coulé sur coffrage. Le mur oriental, celui auquel sont adossées les boutiques extérieures est aveugle, mais il est agrémenté de niches se développant sur la largeur de chaque travée et faisant face aux baies qui éclairent la galerie en s'ouvrant sur l'espace intérieur de la place.

Attention le site n'est pas ouvert toute l'année! Il se trouve au cœur du centre historique entouré de cafés! Il reste encore des vestiges impressionnantes.

Personnellement, ce monument, malgré toute son importance historique, ne m'émeut pas beaucoup. Par contre, il y a de belles expositions à l'intérieur, et la place du forum, où il se situe est très attractive, avec pas mal de cafés. En été, une scène est installée pour des concerts, c'est assez animé.

It was the first time that I saw cryptoportique. It is in excellent condition, and with a little imagination you can notice Roman life during gallo!
