A very interesting (and free) visit. Very interesting to see the section about Henri Vincenot, the author.

This museum was worth the extra 100 kilometres! We had read about an exhibition of celtic finds in Le Figaro and decided to see it, and we were very glad we did this. The exhibition is very well presented. Outstanding pieces are the giant bronce vase which contained more than 1.000 litres and the objects from the grave of a celtic princess of the Hallstein age. There are her remains and an extraordinarily beautiful wagen - reconstructed - on which she had been buried. Besides , many beautiful jewelry pieces, everyday objects and weapons. Moreover, the museum itself contains many objects of human and natural history of the upper Seine river region.

The stone plinth 7 metres high was designed by the architect Viollet-le-Duc.And a Gallo-Roman site that has been open for over 100 years !Following the defeat of Vercingetorix, the oppidum continued to be occupied. A prosperous Gallo-Roman town developed, particularly based on the activity of craftsmen specialising in bronze working. It was abandoned in the 5th century. The population has been estimated as several thousand people at that point. Of this ancient town, all that can now be seen are barely visible remains. They correspond to the foundations and buried structures of monuments and habitations constructed over several centuries.
