Camp celtique de la Bure

The Celtic Camp of La Bure stands on a sandstone promontory, rising 200 meters above the Meurthe Valley, covering an area of 3 hectares.

Archaeological excavations conducted between 1964 and 1986 revealed continuous human occupation from Neolithic times through the Roman period, with defensive structures including a murus gallicus.

The site yielded numerous artifacts including Gallic and Roman coins, tools, and sculptures depicting deities such as Diana, Jupiter, and Mercury, now displayed at Pierre-Noël Museum.

Visitors can access the site through forest paths starting from La Pêcherie and Marzelay hamlets, with a twenty-minute walk from Col de la Crenée.

The archaeological site contains multiple defensive systems from different periods, including trenches and ramparts built with sandstone blocks reinforced by wooden beams.
