Origin and history
Archaeological excavations on the site of the Bolards in Nuits-Saint-Georges revealed a Gallo-Roman village active between the first and fourth centuries. The site includes houses, public buildings, shopping streets, and a remarkable cultural centre, including a large sanctuary and a temple dedicated to Mithra. These discoveries attest to the religious and economic importance of this place during antiquity.
The objects exhumed during the excavations are now exposed to the municipal museum of Nuits-Saint-Georges. The archaeological site, classified as Historic Monument by order of 25 March 1970, is not accessible by free visit. However, guided tours are organized monthly between May and October by the museum, by reservation. Some of the remains are owned by the State, while others are owned by private owners.
The precise location of the site, although documented (1 Rue Appert, Nuits-Saint-Georges), is assessed as poor in terms of cartographic accuracy (note of 5/10). The protected remains cover several cadastral plots, highlighting the expanse of the old town. This heritage offers a unique insight into daily life and religious practices in Roman Gaul, in the current Burgundy-Franche-Comté region.
