Auxerre, a sparkling cocktail of Burgundy

Strolling around Auxerre

A pretty and pleasant stroll through the streets of Auxerre. The remarkable thing is that nearly the entire historic town centre is a listed "preserved area".

Auxerre’s gastronomy

Gastronomy and wine-growing heritage are part of Auxerre’s identity. There’s nothing quite like enjoying a selection of cheeses with a glass of wine if you want to feel, taste and savour the local ambiance!

Points of view

Superb views of the city of Auxerre from the River Yonne: heritage and nature in perfect harmony.

Irancy

Nestling in the nook of a blind valley, surrounded by vineyards. Irancy; lovely little village, Grand Cru wines!
