Archéa

Set in a contemporary building, ARCHÉA offers visitors the chance to explore the north-east of the Paris Region through the results of 40 years of archaeological research. Around 780 artefacts, from prehistory to the modern era, discovered at 90 archaeological sites are presented in a lively and interactive permanent exhibition.

Video screens, digital projections, reconstructions, models and touchable exhibits will help you discover the collections and the work of the archaeologists and better understand the region’s history. And for the youngest visitors, fun activities (workshops, shows, etc.) based on the permanent and temporary exhibitions are offered all year round.

ARCHÉA also includes the archaeological site of the Château d’Orville and the ceramic heritage of the Ysieux valley, which will help you understand archaeologists’ day-to-day work.

You will also like the Île-de-France Museum of Prehistory which retraces the main stages of Prehistory and Protohistory in the Paris region, from the oldest hunters to the first metalsmiths.
