The Roman-Gaul Baths of Entrammes (Thermes gallo-romains d'Entrammes in French) is a complex of Gallo-Roman thermal baths (thermae) in Entrammes, Mayenne, France. The baths were partially incorporated into a church with the hypocaust surviving below the new structure. The remains were discovered in 1987.

History[]

The thermal site was discovered in 1987. Archaeological surveys were done to reassess the church of Saint-Étienne, a building which dates back to Roman times. A hypocaust in good condition was found below the church, confirming the presence of a thermal site of the 2nd century.[1]

Access and conservation[]

Since 1 September 1988 the baths have been classified as a historical monument by the Ministry of Culture.[2] Tours are organised by the local tourism office.[3]
