Paule-Saint-Symphorien, Celtic archaeological site in Paule, France.

The fortress remains include defensive walls, communal spaces, and ancient farming structures spread across 30 hectares of Brittany countryside.

Between the 6th and 1st centuries BCE, the site transformed from a Celtic farm into a fortified settlement of the Osismi people.

Archaeological excavations revealed four Celtic statues, including one depicting a bard with a lyre, indicating the social status of the inhabitants.

Researchers conduct guided tours of the site, explaining the various structural elements and architectural changes throughout different occupation periods.

The discovery of Italian wine amphora fragments at the site demonstrates trade connections between Celtic Brittany and Mediterranean regions.
