Site archéologique de Vienne-en-Val

About

The archaeological site of Vienne-en-Val is a collection of ancient and medieval remains located in the territory of the commune of Vienne-en-Val, in the south of the Loiret department in the Centre-Val region of Loire. At the site of the modern village, the secondary agglomeration is located, in Antiquity, on the track from Orleans to Sancerre. It contains a sanctuary whose existence is certain but the precise location unknown. The remains of a possible paleo-Christian cultural building, of a church of the High Middle Ages, of another built around the 10th century before the building of the contemporary church at the beginning of the 20th century testify, through the persistence of its religious function, to the permanent occupation of the site since ancient times.
