Loupian Roman Villa

Villa Loupian is a Gallo-Roman wine estate and is one of the best preserved mosaic floorings in France. A specially designed building stands over the beautiful floor protecting it from the elements and allowing visitors to look down on the intricate designs.




The various rooms depicted different aspects of Roman life and the importance of its occupants.







It was a beautiful example of ancient art and craft, so intricate and perfectly laid in complex designs. It's amazing it has survived to be seen today.
