The exhibitions of the Forez-Jarez Archaeological Group allow to discover through reconstructions of the moments of the life of people since prehistory. The Archaeological Space Forez-Jarez presents its collections of stones and minerals, the first societies of men with the invention of fire, discovery of agriculture, writing. We also go to meet the Gauls, the Romans through the aqueduct of Gier, and what about the emperor Claude who reigned for a time on the fabulous city of Lyon formerly called Lugdunum and its plates written in Latin discovered fortuitously a short time ago in Lyon and reconstituted (fragments) for the occasion in our Archaeological Space Forez-Jarez. The skull tree saw the arrival of Jebel Irhoud’s man discovered in Morocco, 300,000 years old.

The vocation of the Forez-Jarez Archaeological Group (G.A.F.J), which manages the Forez-Jarez Archaeological Area with the help of local authorities whose logos appear on this site, and with the help of the partner municipalities, is to present the image of local authorities
ancient humans who have succeeded each other in our region, from prehistory to the beginning of the Middle Ages. In a resolutely didactic vision, he shows us through six rooms, through reconstructions, objects from local archaeological excavations, models, some slices of life of our distant prehistoric, Gallic or Gallo-Roman ancestors.
