The Chronographe is an archaeological museum located in Rezé, at the gates of Nantes, in Loire-Atlantique. Built on the remains of the Gallo-Roman city of Ratiatum, it offers an exploration of regional archaeological heritage covering two millennia of history. Managed by Nantes Métropole, the museum combines scientific approach, educational practice and accessibility for all audiences, notably through its temporary exhibitions and its archaeological atlas documenting nearly 800 observation points since the 19th century. The site also includes the Saint-Lupien Chapel and offers activities adapted for families, school groups and adults. Open Wednesday to Sunday from 2 PM to 6 PM, The Chronographe is a cultural facility dedicated to promoting the archaeological heritage of the Nantes territory.
