Gaul, historical region in France
Gaul encompassed territories in what is now modern France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and parts of Switzerland, Italy, the Netherlands, and Germany.
Gaul was conquered by Julius Caesar in the Gallic Wars from 58 BC to 50 BC.
The term 'Gallic' is often used to describe something characteristic of the Gauls, such as bravery or stubbornness.
Many museums and historical sites across France feature artifacts and exhibits on Gallic civilization.
The Gaulish language has left a legacy in modern French, with several words being derived from it.
