Alise-Ste-Reine is considered the Alesia, where in 52 BC the decisive battle between the Roman army under Caesar and the Gauls under Vercingetorix took place. After six weeks of siege, the Gaul had to give up. In 1865 the 14 m high heroic monument of the long-haired, mustached Vercingetorix was erected on the 407 m high Mont Auxois.

Statue of Vercingetorix

Highlight • Historical Site

Who doesn't know him, the Gallic chief Vercingetorix, who is on the second page of every Asterix booklet. It is almost a must to visit this historical place.

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.
