Auxerre Cathedral

With its portal sculptures and stained glass windows, Auxerre Cathedral rivals any cathedral in northern France. Especially the lancet windows in the choir’s ambulatory are the most treasured.

Abbaye Saint-Germain

The building above ground consists of 13th-century architecture, but the Romanesque tower was separated from the body of the church during the Revolution.

Wander the Old Town

Auxerre’s center has enough history of being declared a protected zone. You’ll come across many medieval buildings, some with corbels protruding from their roofs.

Quartier de la Marine

This charming little neighborhood of scurrying lanes is the location of Auxerre’s water-based trades near the Yonne, a few streets from the city’s core.

Tour de l’Horloge

The 15th-century clock tower with its delicate Gothic ornamentation highlights Auxerre’s pedestrian center. On the side of the central building, a decorative turreted arch props up the clock face, which is gilded in the 1600s.

Cadet Rousselle Statue

Auxerre’s eccentric 18th-century town crier Guillaume Rousselle became a figure of mild derision during the Revolution due to his role in the song Cadet Rousselle.

 A.J. Auxerre

The local football team’s glory days have passed, but something remarkable happened at the Stade de l’Abbé-Deschamps between 1960 and 2005. Guy Roux has been the head coach, which is almost unheard of in sports.

Musée Leblanc-Duvernoy

Auxerre local Paul Leblanc-Duvernoy, an ardent arts lover, hosted concerts in his fine house on Rue d’Egleny for a wide audience.

Located west of Auxerre’s old center, the Natural History Museum exhibits the region’s biodiversity and geology over millions of years
