The period from the 5th to the 9th century is undoubtedly the least known in the history of France. Ten years after the publication of the work L'Ile-de-France de Clovis à Hugues Capet, the abundance of archaeological discoveries in recent years has made it possible to update and significantly enrich our knowledge of the history of the kingdom of the Franks, for the enjoyment of professionals and amateurs alike. Based on recent excavations and studies mainly concerning the Yvelines department, this work presents the latest findings on land use. Remains, most of which have never been seen before, have been found in various buildings and in a large necropolis rich in everyday objects, sometimes exceptional, always moving.
