Attractions
Sources of the Seine
At one of the Seine springs is a nymphaeum that was designed in the 19th century by architects Gabriel Davioud , Victor Baltard and Combaz. It contains a copy of a nymph statue by the Burgundian sculptor François Jouffroy .
The city of Paris has owned the site since 1864. Here are the remains of a Gallo-Roman sanctuary of the goddess Sequana , from which the name of the Seine is derived. Several thousand objects have been excavated on the archaeological site. The most famous of these are two bronze statues discovered by Henri Corot in 1933 in a hiding place east of the sanctuary. It is about the goddess Sequana and a faun , which archaeologists call the “treasure of the Seine”. Henri Baudot named a vase of Rufus, which contained numerous votive offerings and coins, as the "treasure of the sanctuary" . Between 1963 and 1967, Roland Martin and Simone Deyts unearthed additional furniture, steles , sculptures and more than 300 wooden votive offerings, which can be seen in the archaeological museum of Dijon .
A fanum discovered by Gabriel Grémaud and Roland Martin later turned out to be a cult site of the local lingons , which was dedicated to the goddess Sequana. The excavations have also unearthed canals built for the holy spring and two basins for the ablution of pilgrims who left their votive offerings in the sanctuary.
