Archaeologists find ancient site under Paris hotel

Archaeologists working beneath the Hôtel-Dieu in central Paris have possibly solved a long-standing mystery about the location of the Lutèce of the Gauls, an ancient site believed to be over 2,000 years old.

Lutèce of the Gauls was a key Roman site

The Lutèce of the Gauls is thought to have been the original settlement that later evolved into the Roman city of Lutetia, which eventually became modern-day Paris. Its exact location had been a subject of debate among historians and archaeologists for many years.
