Three Celtic style river barges are waiting for you at the Espace Gallo-Romain site, they are the only examples of Gallo-Roman boats that have been restored so far in Belgium.
A dug-out canoe and a barge which came from a major archaeological site dating from the 2nd century, one being preserved in a 340 m³ air-conditioned glass case covering two floors, are material witnesses of activities on our rivers and streams in olden times.

A sound video enables you to discover these boats during a journey in time. The boatman Rufus then accompanies the visitor and tells his story and the Gallo-Romans'. From floor to floor he brings back to life the landing, the fishermen, the work of the potter, the metal worker and the shoemaker.
Discover the past in an enjoying way !
