Gallo-Roman History and the Musée de Feurs

The opening of the Musée de Feurs is closely tied to the Gallo-Roman history of the area, particularly the artifacts discovered accidentally or during archaeological excavations of the city Forum Segusiavorum, the capital of the Segusiaves. These discoveries have greatly contributed to the museum's collection and understanding of the region's past.
