Bibracte museum, Archaeological museum at Mount Beuvray, France.
The Bibracte museum displays artifacts and exhibits from excavations of the ancient Gallic capital, located at the summit of Mount Beuvray in Burgundy.
Archaeological investigations at Bibracte began in 1867 when Jacques-Gabriel Bulliot started uncovering remains of the former Aedui tribal capital from the Iron Age.
The museum presents extensive collections of Celtic artifacts, commercial goods, and daily objects that demonstrate the advanced civilization of the Aedui people.
The museum welcomes visitors from March to November, offering guided tours in multiple languages and access to 15 kilometers of marked archaeological trails.
The research center maintains partnerships with universities across Europe, contributing over 5,000 working days annually to archaeological investigations at the site.

Saône-et-Loire holds stories from all parts of French history. You can find caves where prehistoric people lived, like the Azé cave with its stalactites or the rocks of Solutré that overlook the vineyards. The area also has Celtic remains at Bibracte, a fortified city on the heights of Mount Beuvray. The Romanesque monasteries show the time when Cluny was the spiritual heart of medieval Europe, and its basilica served as a model for the one in Paray-le-Monial. Medieval castles like Brancion or Berzé-le-Châtel still stand on their hills, with towers and walls keeping watch over the valleys. The villages still have their solid stone Romanesque churches, castles, and squares where life goes on quietly. In Tournus, you can visit the Saint-Philibert Abbey from the tenth century and find paintings by an eighteenth-century painter at the Greuze museum. Some places are surprising, like the Blanot caves that go deep under the ground. This mix of sights lets you walk through many centuries of history while exploring the Burgundy countryside.
