The "A.85 (Angers-Tours) " motorway project has brought about the rescue excavation of a Gallo-roman rural settlement, at "Les Béziaux " in Langeais (Indre-et-Loire). The buildings were established on a headland dominating the Valley of the Loire, along the ancient track from Tours to Angers. A farmyard, some dwellings and farm buildings of a pars rustica, many excavated fittings and infant burials characterise this settlement dating back from the Ist and the IIIrd c. AD. These results gave information about the antique civitas turonum, especially about the settlements that stood along the Roman road after the second half of the Ist c. AD. It's an example of a particular and privileged villa's position: both near the road and protected by the natural rampart of the steep slope
