Parc Archéologique Européen de Bliesbruck-Reinheim - Bliesbruck

Danielle Cummings

As an English speaking American with very little German and no French, I had a hard time planning our trip here with our kids ages 5,3, and 1.5 years. I knew it was largely outdoors with property on the German and French border but couldn’t figure out which lot to park in, where the “information center” was, etc. so we plugged the main address into our GPS and showed up on this hot June Thursday afternoon. We parked in the lot it brought us to - near the closed restaurant. There were almost no people around and several buildings and I didn’t want to be walking all over the place looking for the information center so we started walking towards the Roman Tavern. Along the way we found signs describing some of the excavations and indicating there was an audio tour you can use your phone for (though we never learned how). We ate then continued walking through the remains of the villa and found one of the SEVERAL information centers (exhibits, really) where you can obtain a map and buy tickets (which, FYI, get you into each exhibit). This one happened to be where the Celtic princess figuring is displayed, and it was truly fascinating, but would have been even better if signs in there had more English. We then backtracked through the ruins and eventually found the other exhibit, where they have jewelry and coins and whatnot on display, then found the Celtic display, the ruins of the Roman town and the bathhouse, where there seemed to be a third information center that was closed. Altogether this took us about 4 hours moving at a fairly rapid pace and only being able to read about 1/3 of the signage throughout the park (and not having the time or internet bandwidth to use Google translate app to read each one). Our double stroller was able to navigate everywhere as long as we stuck to the path, but we couldn’t bring it in the indoor exhibits and there were several outdoor displays we had to leave it 20 feet away or so to get close enough. We took a few snack breaks at picnic tables throughout, and were able to use the bathrooms in the Roman tavern and the museum indoor exhibit.

Everyone was very nice, though most of the staff had little English. The bathhouse, in my opinion, was the coolest part and was blissfully shaded by the building they built over it. Definitely worth the trip, bring lots of water and snacks, plan for several hours, and if I redid it, I’d park at the northernmost parking lot, start at the princess burial exhibit, and work my way down and back.

Avons demandé à la réceptionniste comment ça se passe. Elle s’est contenté de nous vendre 2 entrées. Aucune explications à l’extérieur ou presque.
J’ai lu qu’il y avait une application sur leur site internet mais elle n’existe pas. Rien d’interactif c’est bien dommage

Beau site pour aller se promener même en dehors des ouvertures. Dommage que c'était pendant le Covid, car nous n'avons pas pu nous rendre sur le côté Allemand. Vous pouvez vous promenez autour des étangs et visiter les vestiges gallo romain. Pendant la saison, des activités sont proposées...

Bonne journée passé avec les enfants.
Prévoir d'y aller par beau temps, le gros de la visite est en extérieur.

Nous y'sommes aller pendant l'événement VITA ROMANA si l'histoire et les combats de gladiateurs vous intéresse cet événement est fait pour vous. De bonnes activités étaient proposées pour les grands et les petits.

an incredibly large area with excavations of a roman villa and adjoining village. very accessible. fun thing is that it now lies in 3 countries so you cross the border into Germany without any problems. the celtic princess was an amazing bonus. everything very well kept, despite covid. restaurant serves also roman food ( yes!) for reasonable prices. and you can take your dog with you when you visit the outdoor excavations!

Nous avons visité la partie française avec une jeune guide en stage très intéressante, qui a su nous retransmettre ses connaissances nombreuses et variées. Notre fille qui est passionnée d'archéologie a également beaucoup apprécié cette visite. La partie Allemande était également intéressante mais moins accessible car sans flyer en français.

Nous sommes aller pour Vita romana tres beau spectacle et animations... le lieu est très beau également avec tous ses vestiges... seul bémol le spectacle est essentiellement tourné vers les gradins mais les gradins sont beaucoup trop petit pour tout le public présent !
