Historique
Ensemble d'une trentaine de salles, couvrant 900m² environ, sans compter les amorces de constructions au nord et à l'ouest. Deux groupes de pièces séparés : groupe méridional alimenté par divers conduits aujourd'hui disparus ; groupe septentrional comportant des salles à absides aplaties correspondant sans doute au caldarium. A l'ouest, amorce d'une piscine circulaire tronquée. Le captage antique de l'eau se situe au lieu-dit Le Var. Il s'agit d'une chambre polygonale plaquée de marbre. L'activité des thermes s'étend du 1er au 4e siècle.

History
Complex of approximately thirty rooms, covering approximately 900 m², not counting partial constructions to the north and west. Two separate groups of rooms: southern group supplied by various ducts now disappeared; northern group comprising rooms with flattened apses corresponding no doubt to the caldarium. To the west, the beginning of a truncated circular swimming pool. The ancient water intake is situated at the place called Le Var. It is a polygonal chamber faced with marble. The activity of the baths extends from the 1st to the 4th century.
