Mosaic at the Musée d’Archéologie Nationale in Saint-Germain-en-Laye by Beausoleil

The Musée d’Archéologie Nationale et Domaine National de Saint-Germain-en-Laye covers the history of France back to the stone age. There are ancient bones, artifacts, art and information throughout the several floors of the château. We visited for the Henri II special exhibit, but having finished that, we decided to continue through the main exhibits so returned via the beautiful Courtyard to the main château and archeological exhibits. We left for lunch nearby and returned to spend the afternoon exploring prehistoric France, the Gauls and the Roman rule with some beautiful mosaics.

The first shrine here was built by the Celts and it has been adopted by the Romans and then the British who have all added their improvements. This is all detailed on the audio guide.

Roman wall that used to completely surround Exeter by Beausoleil

Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery is a museum and art gallery in Exeter, Devon and is the largest museum in the city. It's kind of an old-fashioned museum and not very well lit, but is interesting and would be a good stop on a rainy day. You have excellent access to a portion of the old Roman wall that used to surround the city.
