생 티보(St Thibault)에 있는 생 티보 수도원 교회(l’abbatiale de St Thibault) 방문을 강력히 추천합니다! 순수한 경이로움입니다!

Vercingetorix, the great Celtic prince who was tragically defeated by the Romans. The battle site is historically important for France.

Beautiful sight. But there is only a small sign. A visit is not possible.

Beautiful stone bridge over the Seine near Vaurois. In the village the path continues with a small climb.

At this point, you exit the D9 and follow the road which runs along the Canal de Bourgogne. This cycle path is very long and famous. There are several places to picnic along the canal.

Many, mostly young people, even without any further knowledge of French history. The comic series ASTERIX, which has been translated into many languages around the world, acquaints its readers with this, even though it is (supposedly) not possible to identify this fateful place with a specific location there: “I don't know any Alesia. Nobody knows where this Alesia is," claims Majestix, head of the small Gallic village that successfully resisted the Roman occupiers - thanks to the legendary magic potion of their druid Miraculix - for example in the volume "Asterix and the Avernian Shield".

This monument, although only erected in the second half of the 19th century, takes us back two millennia in history, 52 years before the beginning of the Christian era. It is dedicated to the brave warrior VERCINGETORIX, who tried to defend Gaul against the Roman Empire under Julius Caesar. Even though Caesar was able to assert himself militarily here, the proud monument is not dedicated to him personally, but to his defeated opponent Vercingetorix.

A few meters after the car park is the large and majestic statue of Vercingetorix, created by the sculptor Millet in 1865 at the request of Napoleon III to celebrate the end of the excavations on the site. On the base of the statue, erected in 1865, we can read: "United Gaul, forming a single nation animated by the same spirit, can defy the universe", a phrase inspired by a speech by Vercingetorix that Jules César reproduced in "The Gallic Wars".
