A long debated location

The identification of the site of the Battle of Alésia in the current municipality of Alise-Sainte-Reine in the Côte-d'Or department was made possible thanks to the results of excavations undertaken during the Second Empire and in the 1990s. The location of this founding battle for French national identity has long been subject to debates mostly due to the political and symbolic dimension of the site. The academic, scientific, and media dispute essentially focused on two sites: Alise-Sainte-Reine in Côte-d'Or and Chaux-des-Crotenay/Syam in Jura. Following the excavations of the 1990s, a solid consensus reinforced by the publication in 2006 by an international team of researchers and archaeologists of a corpus of Roman military fortifications in Gaul and Germania formed in favor of Alise-Sainte-Reine. The MuséoParc Alésia was consequently inaugurated in Alise-Sainte-Reine in 2012.
