Refractory, rebellious, indigenous... the Gauls still occupy an immense place in the French imagination.
Since Antiquity, these peoples supposedly "born of our land" have been adorned with every virtue or mocked for their barbarity, victims of every caricature. But what is really behind Brennus, Vercingetorix, or even Asterix and Obelix?
In this new installment of the "À l'œil nu" series, Dominique Garcia and Jeremy Perrodeau strip the Gauls of their trappings to paint a documented, lively, and mischievous portrait. Using archaeology and history, they take us through cleared forests, sanctuaries, and cities, in the footsteps of captivating peoples. Shepherds, farmers, gold miners, our Gauls are also city dwellers, traders, and artisans. On the "land of the sunset," as the Greeks called it, they live, trade, and create with all the peoples of the European region. The discoveries of the last thirty years are well worth a new tour of Gaul, here it is.
