Photo of French ancient monuments
 

There are many towns in France with remnants from the Roman era, with most being in the south-east of France. The key Roman monuments are shown below.

Others that are in less good condition or of less importance can be found in various towns across France, with sites in, for example, Perigueux, Saintes, and La Turbie. Even if these don't perhaps merit a voyage specifically to visit them, they add to the pleasure of a visit to the towns.
