MuséoParc Alésia

It was on this site in 52 BCE that Julius Caesar and his Roman legions defeated the Gauls under Vercingétorix, ending Gallic (Celtic) rule in France. To learn more than enough to make sense of Astérix comics, visit both the well-organized interpretative center and the vestiges of the Gallo-Roman city that developed after the battle. Has entertaining programs and workshops for kids. Well worth the drive from Dijon (67km) or Semur-en-Auxois (16km).
