Normandy stands out as one of the richest territories in northern France with Roman remains. In the heart of the Eu forest, excavations begun in 2006 by the Normandy Regional Archaeology Service are revealing the secrets of a settlement. Since their rediscovery at the end of the 18th century, the remains located at the Bois-l'Abbé site (Eu, Seine-Maritime) have continued to fascinate the curious, scholars, and researchers. They have also undertaken occasional excavations there until the beginning of the 21st century, mainly on two monuments previously interpreted as those of a large place of worship. The very active research carried out over the past fifteen years now documents the birth and development of an ancient city with Gallic origins, located in the northwest of the Roman Empire. This city, long forgotten beneath the forest cover, was called... Briga.
