Auxerre – stroll through the historic center and along the Yonne river

Auxerre captivates from the very first steps. The historic center, with its half-timbered houses, cobbled streets, and lively squares, invites leisurely strolls. You can wander without a specific itinerary, simply letting its charm work its magic.

You can't miss Saint-Étienne Cathedral, impressive for its size and stained-glass windows. Just a short walk away, Saint-Germain Abbey completes the visit with its ancient crypts and more intimate atmosphere. But Auxerre isn't just about heritage: it's also a vibrant city, deeply connected to the water.

The banks of the Yonne offer a welcome respite. At the end of the day, the light is particularly beautiful. Terraces, restaurants, small cafes… everything is there to extend your visit over a drink or dinner.

Auxerre is a simple and pleasant destination, perfect for varying the pleasures during your stay: a bit of city life, without giving up the gentleness of Burgundy.
