Archaeologists working in the French capital have announced what is being described as a “major breakthrough” following the discovery of an ancient wall that is shedding new light on the origins of Paris’s earliest settlement.
The findings, reported by Euronews, point to the beginnings of urban development in the region, offering researchers a clearer understanding of how the first communities established themselves in what is now one of Europe’s most iconic cities.
This archaeological find is being hailed as a significant sign of the first settlement in Paris, providing tangible evidence of the area’s ancient history and the foundations upon which the modern metropolis was built.
Is this actually Roman or much older? The article is vague on dating. Hope they publish the stratigraphy soon.
Finally, some real history beneath all that modern chaos. Can’t wait to see what else lies under Paris.
