The Merovingian necropolis in Civaux has been occupied from Antiquity up to the present day. Exceptional! It has been used for over 1700 years. According to XVIIIth century drawings, the necropolis was 3 or 4 times bigger than the one you see today. It covered between 3 and 4 hectares. The number of tombs here has been estimated at between 7 000 and 15 000, which has no relation to the population of Civaux at the time. The walls are made from sarcophagi lids arranged like standing stones. They were probably put up in the Middle Ages, towards the 12th or 15th centuries, when the cemetery was made smaller. The part not used as a cemetery became a stone quarry. The sarcophagi caskets and lids were then used as troughs, watering places, stair steps, floor slabs or simply building stones. Before entering the necropolis, study the sarcophagus lid to the left of the gate.It is decorated with three crossbars, a typical Poitou Merovingian design between 500 and 800 A.D.

A wonderful afternoon activity. The creatures feel very close and there is an amazing variety – crocs (truly like living dinosaurs!), snakes (the biggest anaconda imaginable!), iguanas, tortoises...! The new aerial walkway adds an 'Indian Jones' sense of adventure. Very well worth the visit. Also, there is a swimming pool complex and bowling just opposite.
