Gallo-Roman ruins are all over France. There are some prominent examples, but they're often discovered when digging to build an underground parking lot (Cahors, Rodez...) or some other sort of infrastructure project. Then everything stops as they are studied and inventoried. Although I'm not a big history buff, I find this fascinating.

I did see a pretty impressive Roman amphitheater in Arles last fall! I was surprised because I had no idea about it and knew of Arles mostly for Van Gogh.
