Accompanied by a guide as passionate as he is exciting, set off to discover the museum and the archaeological site of Bibracte. Throughout the visit, discover how life was organised in the oppidum some 2000 years ago.

Afterwards, a delicious meal inspired by Gallic cuisine awaits you at the restaurant Le Chaudron. Here, the dishes are made of ceramic and, like the Gauls, you will eat without a fork! An unforgettable adventure and an original taste experience, which will allow you to discover archaeology from a culinary point of view.

Built in 1995 at the entrance to the site by the architect Pierre-Louis Faloci, the museum paints a portrait of Bibracte, an ephemeral city, in the light of the latest archaeological discoveries.

The upper gallery, which forms the first part of the permanent exhibition, presents the two hundred or so oppida (vast fortified sites) that suddenly took over the Celtic world towards the end of the 2nd century BC. At the end of the Iron Age, this original urban phenomenon suddenly transformed a vast area of Europe into a territory structured by a network of towns and led to the foundation of Bibracte around 100 BC.

The lower gallery of the museum examines the archaeological record of Bibracte in great detail - the ramparts, the quarters, the craftsmen's workshops and houses, the public spaces, etc. - to see that the evolution of the oppidum bears witness to a radical change at a key moment in history: between the founding of Bibracte and its abandonment a century later, Gaul became Roman.

In the restaurant "Le Chaudron", at the foot of the archaeological site, you will taste a menu prepared with the ingredients known to the Gauls, in an original place and atmosphere. If your group consists of more than 60 people, we can offer you the possibility to have the meal in our company restaurant in the village of Glux-en-Glenne.

Do you like walking and would you like to combine the discovery of the archaeological site of Bibracte with that of an exceptional natural site? 
Do you like to hear about history but also about the local fauna and flora?
Put on your shoes, we'll take you on a 3-hour walk, with a guide who knows all about the history of Bibracte, the work of the archaeologists, but also about the evolution of the landscape and the wild animals familiar with the area.

Carenum, mulsum, turriculae, three kinds of spicy wines, all of them amazing. Your guide will introduce you to new flavours, which will surprise your taste buds, and will tell you about the tastes and drinking habits of the Gauls. You will take home with you the handmade ceramic beaker, a copy of the beakers found in the Bibracte excavations.

As a complement to the guided tour of the museum, and in order to better understand the gestures of a Gallic craftsman, take it in turns to put yourself in his shoes and in those of an archaeologist. Choose your workshop and strike a coin, make a fibula (Gallic brooch) or reconstitute a ceramic...
