MuséoParc Alésia

Highlight • Historical Site

A museum explaining the famous Alesia battle. Roman fortifications are presented as well.
Don't forget to go to the archeological Alesia site where you can see ruins of the real site (since the museum is a few kilometers away). It is as important as the Museoparc.
