During a walk on the heights offering a splendid view of the city, daily life is revealed by the remains scattered along the streets: aqueducts, thermal baths and fountain tell you more about the importance of water while the mausoleums arranged by the roads and the remains of the church Saint-Just built since the 5th century allow us to evoke the Roman religion and the relationship to death.
