    • An ecomuseum, archaeological park, and cultural park, the Gallic Village is unclassifiable. From the origins of the project, its construction, through its operation, to its opening, nothing about this place is ordinary; everything here is different and far from the beaten track.

      Throughout the tour, explanatory desks allow you to better understand the place, the period, and the craftsmanship.

      Craftsmen bring this place to life, perfectly illustrating, with passion, the skills of the jeweler, the dexterity of the coppersmith and, depending on the day, weaving, blacksmithing and basketry. This village leaves us a cultural message often considered minor. Yet this Gallic art that we inevitably find through craftsmanship is infinitely developed and unique.
