La chaussée Jules-César, une route vers l’Océan

Abstract

The antique “Jules-César” roadway, built since the 1st century, connected Paris to Rouen then Lillebonne before joining the English Channel to Harfleur. It has been studied numerous times in Île-de-France and Normandy, and is relatively well-known today, thanks in particular to preventive archaeology. In a travelling exhibition, the archaeological service of the Val-d'Oise department presents data synthesis about this road and its context, showing the mission of local archaeological services in France, between research and cultural mediation.
