Step into the Middle Ages - another incredible place (incidentally, the film set of the movie “Chocolat” with Johnny Depp)

In addition to strolling around the village, you can freely visit (and for free) the anise museum, discover the old workshops, the crypt of the abbey, and end up in the shop and buy small anise candies with different flavors.

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

The factory has been restored in a nostalgic and fantastic museum style, and the aniseed candies are cult objects.

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.

A medieval village with a selection of good restaurants and a beautiful abbey. If you want to visit the village you can leave the bike in the parking lot in front of the village entrance.

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.
