At the top of Mount Beuvray, covered by 1,000 hectares of forest, a large Gallic city has been unearthed by archaeologists. Surrounded by ramparts, Bibracte was the capital of one of the most powerful peoples of Gaul, the Eduens. Today, Bibracte is classified as a Historic Monument and a Grand Site de France. Every year, excavations are carried out there, with researchers from all over Europe visiting from June to October. To discover them, take advantage of guided tours in season, or wander freely around the site. Your mobile phone can take you on a tour by downloading the "compass".
Bibracte is also a museum dedicated to the Celts and the discoveries made on the site and a programme of events from spring onwards. Don't miss the exceptional panorama from the summit.
