Commissioned by Napoleon III, the statue stands 6.60 m high on a 7 m plinth overlooking Alise-Sainte-Reine.
Commissioned by Emperor Napoleon III, the copper statue of Vercingetorix was executed by sculptor Aimé Millet. Placed at the top of Mont Auxois, close to the ancient Gallic Oppidum of Alesia, the statue dominates the valley and this superb landscape typical of the Auxois region. Firmly holding his sword and maintaining a dignified bearing, Vercingetorix is depicted here as a glorious, powerful war leader, not as the unfortunate loser of the battle of Alesia. Accessible all year round, the site is a popular hiking destination.

Sur la plan historiques, peu d'informations cependant, et c'est dommage.
Le site est assez déserté depuis la création du complexe "Alésia" dans le bas de la vallée.
The only disadvantage, I went from 8/15/13, and question of observing the surrounding plains to imagine the camps of the Romans during the siege is impossible. Nature has taken its rights back, it is impossible to see though it is, the trees too high (see photo)
