Mont Lassois

Here the Seine already reaches a size that can at least be navigated with rafts or flat barges - which in turn is largely responsible for the importance of this area as a transshipment point in the European trading network of the Hallstatt period around 500 BC.

To the southeast of the mountain is a 42 hectare late bronze , Hallstatt and late Latency necropolis. It includes the princess grave of Vix, discovered in 1953, and the sanctuary of Les Herbues.
