This deserves more views

I'm from Saintes. Realy cool to see two structures in that best of. The arc was in fact on the bridge (in the middle). They moved it on the river's shore when the bridge was rebuilt to let cars pass ... amphiheatre was a real one. He had gladiators fights. The huge door you see on the right is for the livings if i remember well so the east one (the one for the deads is on the left of the picture so the west one, where the sun goes down). The cemetry was not far from that area. The structure is built on a hill. Wich is uncomon. You can see the top of the hill on the left and the river Charentes is way down on the right. I went there 3 times. I always have a strange feeling when on the sand down there. So many lifes were lost here. But it's like they're not totaly dead somehow. It must have been a terrifying and thrilling experience to fight in that special place. Everytime we dig to make a new building in Saintes, 1 h hour later you can call archelogists ... and wait for 3 months before going on ... lol

Millions of Romans settled in France and Spain, thats why Italians, Frenchmen and Spaniards look very similar as opposed to the average "Celt" in Scotland or Ireland. Also Spanish and French are all Italic languages directly descended from Latin, thats further evidence that their ancestors were the Latin-speaking Romans who populated the 2 regions for the 700 years they were Roman Provinces. We are a big Roman family ❤️🇮🇹🇫🇷🇪🇸🇵🇹❤️

@@jadawin10 ce qu’il dit n’est pas complètement faux. On nous a appris « nos ancêtres les Gaulois » mais en oubliant (ce que l’on ne savait pas encore au 19ème siècle), que les Gaulois ne sont qu’un des peuples parmi d’autres, qui provenaient d’Europe centrale. Avant eux, le pays était peuplé de peuples dits « ibériques », tels les Vascons. Dans toute la moitié sud de la Loire ce sont ces ancêtres « ibériques » qui prédominent, les celtes (Gaulois) n’ayant constitué une part dominante de la population qu’au nord de la Loire. Au sud, il s’agissait essentiellement d’une caste élitiste dominant un population « ibérique ».

Quelle classe ces monuments ! Impressionnant ...

Fascinating to see. Many thanks from 🇨🇦

Roman architectural remains. A fantastic theme for a very long tour of Europe.

Truly a great summary of structures; I wasn't aware of several of them. One can only dream where we Europeans would be today if Rome never “fell” to the unprecedented cultural upheaval of the 3rd & 4th centuries due to monotheism. Ideologies destroy societies; structures that last can help us look back and spark an interest in what happened, to hopefully learn.

It seems like Roman structures are better preserved in France than they often are in Italy itself. The same goes for other parts of the Empire. The amphitheatre in Pula in Croatia is as well-preserved as the one in Arles.

What a wonderful buildings and monuments!

thank you for putting this together, I didn't even know about half of these sites, amazing stuff :)

Amazing structures they are still standing for over 2 thousand years.

It's a mix of celtic (the first civilisation to have conquered france or what you may roughly refer to as france cause borders have moved a lot an it's a bit hard to refer to celts has ONE nation) and latin langage (the second civilisation to have conquered france, in fact the south of France was technicaly 100% roman and that's the why of these structures, then at some point Rome conquered all France). For exemple a lot of french towns (as towns and not villages) were in fact created by romans. Like massilia (Marseilles ex massalia a greek colony connected to Rome) or lutecia parisorum (paris). Francs then came from germany (it's the third and last exotic civilisation to have conquered france). But their langage did not influenced that much the "french langage" cause latin was still the langage of clercs and nobles. Because of Clovis who swore obedience to roman catholic church and rejected his pagan gods. So all the papers for exemple, and in fact the writen langage was basicaly 90% in latin. Most documents where still in latin in midle age. If you wana be 100% accurate you also have a lot of other langages influence but with few %. Cause France had and still has a lot of regional langages. Some of them are about to disapear, because not enough spoken by young people or teached.

@Chiara Brunelli They did not. They were stoped at Poitiers. They left nothing. Even on the battlefield. Some people are not even sure that the battle of Poitiers did ocured. They're not even sur it was at Poitiers so ... I personaly think that a little muslin force vanguard moving undetected was severly defeated near the border of aquitania and France. They never stood a chance to conquer teritories in France as we name it. They had Narbonne. But Narbonne was not France at that time. It was closest to Spain. When i say conquer it's conquering the real power, not few lands near borders that moved almost every year. We have more muslins now than in 750. ^^

@Chiara Brunelli "The Muslims of the 8th century were not really interested in the conquest of France at that time, they really wanted Constantinople." You are totally ignorant in history: The Muslims of the 8th century who conquerd Spain and made raids in France became, almost immediatly after Spain conquest, enemies of Bagdad/Damascus Khalifa/emirat (where they once came from) by creating Cordoba's emirat (it's a kind of secession, a bit like american's patriots against UK), and so became allied with Byzanthin empire (Cordoba's mosque and later Granada's Alhambra was decorated by christians artists given by Constantinople). In the 8th century, there was 2 geopolitical blocks: Franc Empire (Charlemagne) allied with Bagdad's Kalif Hâroun ar-Rachîd on one side, And Byzanthin Empire allied with Cordoba's emir Abd Al Rahman on the other side. Both blocks were christians and muslims coalition. Kalif Hâroun ar-Rachîd gave to Charlemagne the rarest gift he can provide: a white elephant. Study History instead of saying stupidities.

Romans dont get the credit they deserve. There must of been some brilliant minds amongst the romans. The greeks and persians I'd say had alot of smart people in there empire's not saying they were perfect. The religious beliefs have held man kind back for a long time and caused alot of mental health issues who knows maybe they could of reached the industrial revolution with out the belief of "god"

I am wondering if they used Greek expertise for these. Note that most of the best Roman buildings were put up in the first and second centuries. What evidence we have shows that the economy slumped in the 3rd century and building and the arts declined with it. I think that the Romans unified the Mediterranean lands which resulted in an economic boom in the first century, but the oppressive Roman tyranny caused decline from the 2nd century.
