Activity: Dining with Caesar!

Two sessions every day at 2.30 pm and 4 pm

In the Roman world, grand banquets took place in the triclinium, where a U-shaped bench allowed wealthy guests to recline. Dinner was a spectacle in which the setting was just as important as the food on the plate.
Take a seat in the reconstructed dining room and savour the moment! A cultural guide will show you around the venue and give a detailed account of the dishes and drinks served.

Duration: 30 mins
Capacity: 114 people

Every day, from 9.30 am to 6 pm

In the atrium, the very heart of the MuséoParc Alésia, new tables designed by Jules Levasseur invite you to discover board games from antiquity: the game of Latroncules, hopscotch, the game of the Twelve Characters and Archimedes’ puzzle.

These games, which were popular in Rome and Gaul, are well known thanks to ancient texts and depictions, as well as artefacts unearthed during archaeological excavations. Now it’s your turn to have a go! Follow the rules and have a go with family or friends!
