On the first of the European Archaeology Days, RFI visits a Roman site in the French city of Reims, where archaeologists recently finished excavating remnants of daily life in the 2nd and 3rd century AD.

Archaeologists from the French National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research (Inrap) finished the excavation this month following the discovery of the site seven months ago.
