Bibracte is the name of the capital of Eduens, one of the most powerful people at the time of the Gallic Wars. This fortified city built at the top of one of the climaxes of Morvan, the mount Beuvray, is searched every summer since 1984\. Protection and emphasising of the vestiges of the oppidum establish(constitute) a major stake in which contemporary architecture supplies answers innovative and adapted. On the site, an audacious(adventurous) shelter protects the vestiges of the monumental centre which includes one of the most old(former) Roman basilicas identified north of the Alps: conceived(designed) by the architect Paul Andreu, structure alloys reversibility, modularity, adaptation to climatic and environmental constraints and respect for vestiges. At the foot of the site, the museum presents the results(profits) of archaeological researches(searches), in a resolutely contemporary architectural case, created by Pierre-Louis Faloci: this realisation which reconciles modernity and environmental integration and that spins the metaphor of archaeology cost to the architect to be prize-winner of the Carpenter's square of money(silver) in 1996\. The narrow association of the cabinet Faloci in the renovation of the permanent muséographie finished(ended) in 2013 assures(insures) the aesthetic coherence of the set(group) while showing the relevance of choices(selections) operated 20 years earlier at the time of the construction of the building(ship): those of an adjustable building, capable of evolving to the rhythm of the archaeological heritage which it contributes to reveal. Bibracte is also a natural site of exception, labelled "Big(Great) Site of France" since 2008.
