With a tablet, you can travel through the past of Gallo-Roman Alesia. Wan strolls through the streets to discover the architecture, the town planning and the daily life of the inhabitants! At each stage there is a game to play with the family.

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

In the year 52 before the beginning of our Christian era, Julius Caesar's army defeated the Gallic army in ALESIA under their leader VERCINGETORIX, who had succeeded in uniting the various Gallic tribes in battle. Many people, mostly young people, will be somewhat familiar with this battle - even without any further knowledge of French history - because: The internationally successful comic series ASTERIX by the author duo Goscinny & Uderzo introduces its readers to it. However, in these stories it is apparently not possible to identify the place of fate with a specific location: “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.

These washhouses can be admired again and again in the Burgundy region. Interesting to look at and often evokes memories of that time.

A fine example of an old wash house that is worth a look when passing nearby.

An archaeological site that can be visited in conjunction with the Alesia Museum. Car parking in front of the exhibition center (opens at 10 am) from which you can also visit the nearby monument of 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".
