La Croix-Valmer · LE GOLFE / DISCOVER
Long before seaside holidays, this coast was already inhabited. The remains at Pardigon II invite a different sense of time in La Croix-Valmer. Between the landscape you see today and traces of antiquity, a short stop can add an unexpected historical dimension to a day near the beach.

“ANCIENT LIVES BENEATH TODAY’S LANDSCAPE.”
FIND YOUR RHYTHM
01
The municipality dates the villa’s origins to the first century AD and describes later expansion. Expect archaeological remains rather than a complete house. Take time to distinguish surviving structures from what interpretation helps you imagine.
02
Villa here means an ancient establishment. This profile concerns archaeology and is unrelated to holiday properties with similar names. Use the full site name and the Boulevard du Maréchal Juin area near the Débarquement car park when making enquiries.
03
Stay within permitted areas, avoid climbing structures and leave stones where they are. Start with the information provided on site, then look again at the remains. With children, a brief and attentive discovery is a useful approach.
BEYOND THE FIRST LOOK
Local tourism information advertises free access. Any guided visits have their own programme: ask the municipality or tourist office on 04 94 55 13 13. Check current access conditions and do not treat an old tour announcement as a permanent appointment.
