Prehistoric deposits at Saint-Acheul were discovered in the 19th century. In 1872 the district gave its name to one of the most ancient of human industries: Acheulean. Saint-Acheul archaeological garden was laid out to enhance this most ancient of sites, while offering a pleasant place to walk in naturally fragrant surroundings.
Listed as an historical monument since 1947 and open to the public since 1998, the Saint-Acheul site is an excellent illustration of the history of prehistoric discoveries and their recognition by the scientific community.
