Bibracte, Saint-Leger-sous-Beuvray

Excellent Gallo-Roman historical site still under excavation. 2 hour guided tour in French well worth while as guides very knowledgeable and open to questions. Can also visit on your own with descriptive panels on key spots. Definitely recommend bus ride up as 6 km to top. You don't miss the distance when visiting on way back down. Bus down again from gateway to archealogical site or 20 minute walk through the woods (1km) back to car park. Great panorama view from top of mountain when weather good. Be equipped for quick weather change on hill top (cloudy, rain, cold) and for walking on muddy, slippery trails. Modern museum at entrance is very well laid out with interesting descriptions of finds from the site plus explanations of how site was built in French, English and German. Great site for bigger kids already learning about history of Gauls, Celts and Romans.

Well made museum. Bus up hill, good walk downhill with chances to view the archaeological sites.

Immensily important site for history - nice museum with a variation of display modes and multiple language audio guides - beautiful environment!

Great place museum, restaurant serving traditional meal, parking, public toilet all on site. Vans giving free lifts to the top available

One of the ancient Roman capitals, Bibrat is an archaeological site still under recovery/restoration. A well worth visit with a knowledgeable guide that lasts up to 2 hours, and can be booked in advance over the phone. On Monday at 15:30 it's also available in English. A German visit is available on Tuesday but I can't remember the time. You can also decide to do everything on your own, reading bilingual panels as well as climb up to the top by foot, which frankly I think it's the best choice. It's about a km and half to the highest point and it takes about 20 mins if you're a fast waker. Minibuses are available for lazy people, or when the sun is too hot. On site there's a restoration point which apparently serves "Roman" style food. I've not eaten there, but the price sounded reasonable. I got hay ice cream though (packed in a nearby monk monastery apparently) that was really nice.
