Mont Lassois (commune of Vix)

Mont Lassois is a really old place in France where people used to live a long, long time ago. It's a special place because it's where one of the biggest collections of old things called artifacts have ever been found. Artifacts are objects that people used in the past, like bowls or knives or tools.

People used to live at Mont Lassois about 2,500 years ago which is even before your great-great-great-great-great-great grandparents were born! They built their homes out of special clay and stone, and they had cool weapons made out of metal. They also made pretty jewelry to wear.

One really special artifact was a giant cup that was as big as a kiddie pool! People believe it was used for special celebrations, like a party when somebody important got married or had a baby.

Mont Lassois is also special because it's near the village of Vix. That's where they found a really big burial site full of treasures. They found a huge jug made out of really heavy metal that looked like it was in the shape of a big bird. This jug was so big that someone your age could fit inside! They also found lots of pretty cups and jewelry that were buried with a really important person who lived a long time ago.

So, Mont Lassois is a really old and cool place in France where people used to live a long time ago, and they found lots of special things there, including a giant cup, cool weapons, and pretty jewelry. It's near the village of Vix where they found even more special things, including a big metal jug and pretty cups and jewelry buried with a really important person.
