Camp antique de Cora

The Camp antique de Cora extends over 25 hectares on a limestone plateau, featuring an oval shape measuring 600 meters in length and 400 meters in width.

The camp served as a strategic military outpost along the Via Agrippa after Julius Caesar's conquest of Gaul, with fortifications dating from the 6th to 8th centuries.

Archaeological excavations in 1851 by Ernest Baudoin revealed numerous artifacts, including weapons and everyday objects from multiple occupation periods at the site.

The site remains open for visits, with its location coordinates at 47.56666 latitude and 3.772999 longitude in the Yonne department of Burgundy region.

The defensive structure incorporates steep natural slopes and a reinforced wall system spanning 200 meters to protect the only accessible entrance to the plateau.
