The Archeological site at Le Quiou is offering visits every Sunday afternoon at 2.30, 3.30 and 4.30pm.
It is open all year round - you can visit it without guide if you want to.
It is worth a visit!
Le Quiou is near Evran, 15 min South of Dinan. I live nearby so stop for a cuppa as you will be passing my place!

Do you know what they're digging for Rach? Is it some sort of old settlement thingy?

The site of Le Quiou was found thanks to an aerial photo taken in 1989. Since then, archeologists have been working on site each year the whole month of August.
Slowly they are discovering remains of Gallo-Roman villas: baths, living quarters, vases, etc.
The villa there is one of the most ancient, the foundations dating from the first century AD.
Visits are organised in the summer by the association "Les Pierres Vives". You can also visit the site unaccompanied.
Le Quiou is about 2 miles away from Evran.
I hope this helps!
