Roman Epoch
In 1989, maintenance work undertaken at the « La Cour du Pont » quarter led to the discovery of two oak piles at a depth of 2 meters.. A carbon 14 study undertaken by the center for chronology at the Claude Bernard Lyon I University (CNRS) gave a date between 39 BC to 120 AD. It is possible that they are piles of a Gallo-Roman bridge used to cross the river bed between Avenières and Thuellin.
