the Salle des Echanges, a crypt with a "laser", a metal sculpture symbolizing the domination of the mind over matter...
a bronze bust of the President and his silhouette accompanied by his labrador dog Baltique on the entrance gate.
a dolmen which symbolizes the history of the Gallic Aedui of the region (with Bibracte as its capital). In 52 BC, during the Gallic War, the chief Vercingetorix allied his people Arvernes, victorious over Julius Caesar at the siege of Gergovia, to the Aedui at Bibracte to fight the Roman invader at the siege of Alesia (first historical outline of French national unity according to Mitterrand).
