    • 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.

    Engaging staff, a far cry from the caricatures found in some historically-minded parks; perfect for children with immersive workshops and passionate characters who truly embody their roles.

    Absolutely fascinating. You're transported back in time. The explanations and demonstrations by the artisans make the visit both informative and truly engaging. We loved learning real facts about the Gauls. A must-do!

    A very good experience. Very interactive with each character. The children loved it and were delighted to have made their own little Gaulish souvenirs. I recommend it for young and old alike.
