Ancient Wall Found Beneath Paris Could Confirm Site of First Settlement

Archaeologists working beneath Paris have discovered an ancient wall that may help identify the location of the city’s first settlement. The structure, found during excavations, could provide new evidence about how communities lived along the Seine before Paris became a major medieval and modern capital. Researchers are examining its materials, construction techniques, and surrounding artifacts to establish its age. If confirmed, the discovery could reshape understanding of Paris’s origins and offer a rare glimpse into the city’s earliest past inhabitants.
