 If you think that the Gauls were thwarted barbarians, it's high time to take a visit to the Museum at Pègue!
Renamed « Salle Charles Lagrand », after one of its principal contributors, the museum is a veritable Ali Baba's cavern. Terra sigillata artefacts, brooches or fibulas, and steles dedicated to Gallo-Roman divinities: these objects come mainly from excavations done between 1955 and 1985 on the hill of Saint Marcel, a hill fort from the Iron Age. An astonishing « pseudo-Ionian » collection which takes its originality from the influence of the Greeks who were settled at that time on the Mediterranean in the South of France. A contact that allowed the Gauls to learn the use of a potter's wheel, money, writing ... and the consumption of wine. A little museum located in the village of Le Pègue between Nyons and Grignan, well worth the stop!

Le Musée archéologique, «Salle Charles Lagrand», is located in the heart of the village, on the first floor of the Oustau, opposite the Auberge Donjon (see the site map)
