Alise Sainte Reine

Recenter Map To This Location

A circle detour on the D103 will take you to Alise Sainte Reine, a quiet hilltown with Roman ties. This fortified town is the scene of the last stand of the Gauls against Caesar. Follow signs to Mont Auxois which is located above the village and was the site of Caesar’s final victory over the heroic Gaulic chieftain Vercingetorix in 52 B.C. after a six-week siege. The first excavations were undertaken in the mid 19th century, and they uncovered the remains of a thriving Gallo-Roman town, Alise, complete with a theater, forum, and a well-laid street plan. The Musée Alise has a collection of artifacts, jewelry, and bronze figures from the site.
