ABOUT THE REGION


AuxerreAuxerre lies in the banks of the river Yonne and is  one of the most beautiful urban landscapes in France rising above the river. From the jumble of old houses and their high red-brown roofs covered with the distinctive flat tiles so characteristic of northern Burgundy, emerge the Gothic spires of the church of Saint-Pierre and the cathedral of Saint-Etienne (13C-16C), the latter with its superb stained glass windows and its Romanesque crypt containing the famous fresco of Christ in Majesty. The visitor may also admire the Romanesque bell tower of the former abbey of Saint-Germain (12C-14C) with its Carolingian crypts (12C-14C) decorated by the oldest known frescos in France (9C). Further away from the river, the great golden dials of the Clock Tower (Tour de l’Horloge) dominate the upper part of the town.

AuxerreThe townscape is reflected in the peaceful waters of the Yonne and at nightfall springs gloriously to life when the principal buildings are illuminated. Other attractions include numerous churches, the Leblanc-Duvernois Museum displaying a collection of tapestries and earthenware in the setting of an 18C town house as well as a host of other houses and mansions. Meanwhile, along the banks of the Yonne, inland water cruising helps to perpetuate the colourful atmosphere once provided by the barges. In the Marine district, the statue of St Nicholas, patron saint of the barge men, looks out over the square. Joigny with its little winding streets and many wooden houses, Villeneuve-sur-Yonne created in the 12th century by the King of France, Sens with its cathedral and rich museums, Pont-sur-Yonne and Montereau where Napoleon led one of his last battles.
