A bucolic, clean, well-maintained, and shaded spot, with tables and trash cans for picnicking. It's officially a Paris commune, but it looks nothing like Paris.

Wikipedia reports: "The source of the Seine is located on the plateau of Langres, 25 km north-west of Dijon in the Côte-d'Or department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, 470 m above sea level. A special feature is that the sources of the Seine were the property of the city of Paris from 1864 onwards. An artificial grotto was built a year later to protect the main source and a statue of a nymph was erected to symbolize the river. Paris has since returned the property to the region. Near the source are the remains of a Gallo-Roman temple in which a Dea Sequana (Latin goddess of the Seine) was worshipped. The archaeological finds from this are now in the archaeological department of the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Dijon."

This monument, although only erected in the second half of the 19th century, takes us back two millennia in history, 52 years before the beginning of the Christian era. It is dedicated to the brave warrior VERCINGETORIX, who tried to defend Gaul against the Roman Empire under Julius Caesar. Even though Caesar was able to assert himself militarily here, the proud monument is not dedicated to him personally, but to his defeated opponent Vercingetorix.
