The site gallo-romain des Cars, situated between the communes of Saint-Merd-les-Oussines and Pérols-sur-Vézère, hosts the remnants of a sanctuary from the early 2nd century. The site includes two funerary monuments and a villa, showcasing evidence of wealthy Romans' lifestyle from that era. Alongside glimpses of Roman lifestyle, the site offers insights into the local agriculture, with evidence of wheat and buckwheat farming revealing a possible dependence on farming for the region's prosperity. Fragments of colored glass and a mosaic composed of slate and sandstone further uncover the beauty and intrigue of this ancient sanctuary.
