<p>[QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 26014877, member: 104064"]I should say that I'm not sure if the coins are there permanently or if they were part of a temporary exhibit that changes, and we were just lucky. I looked it up and online images show other stuff displayed behind the ruins. As I recall, the coins were (mostly?) not found on that site, but only represented what was coined during various eras. But it was all in French and I had to piece together what the displays said. It's worth a visit regardless, if you enjoy archaeology. I found it amusing - there are stairs leading down into it under the plaza in front of Notre Dame tucked away in a corner of the plaza and we only noticed it by accident. Hundreds of people were lined up to go into Notre Dame or milling around, and we were almost the only ones in the archaeological site. It's obviously not on the bucket lists.</p><p><br /></p><p>No one in France was rude to us. That's such a widespread notion that I have to assume it originated with Americans who deserved it. I said bonjour and merci and pointed a lot, and it was fine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
