Today was the big climb day. Up up then very steeply up to the summit of Mount Beauvray. Its more of a hill but quite steep so I had to get off and walk. It was found to be the site of a Gaul city so has been dug up and bits put in a very beautiful EU funded museum. The city and the museum are called Bibracte. It has very good models and diagrams of the fortifications , the lifestyle (men killing things and others and making jewellry), women cooking it. Dates from 300 bc or b4 and the Gauls lost the plot when the romans came and civilized them round 200 0 years ago. The top of the hill is cleared and has been used for 1800 years for country fairs..which one can imagine with all the shady trees around.
