Musée Espace Epona - Secrets de nos patrimoines

Among the remains three statues of deities, including that of Epona. Goddess of travelers, horses and agricultural domains, the Gallic deity had watched over the site for more than 2,000 years. Fragments of the found statue are on display in the Musée du Donjon. A facsimile has been made and is presented on the first floor of the Dryer, as an introduction to the space "Epona - Secrets of our Heritage".
