About Auxerre

Auxerre is a small city in the region of Bourgogne, which is the very heart of France. In spite of this central location, don’t expect this to be a super-thrill, hot-action, cosmopolitan metropolis. The two most interesting things about Auxerre are its history and its wine, which, for certain old-school tourists, is more than enough.

City areas

As you consider the perspective of visiting Auxerre and you thing about the things you will do as you set foot on Bourgogne soil, know that your tourist expeditions will most likely limit themselves to the Old Town area. If you’re a big fan of soccer, you might be interested in seeing the home team, FC Auxerre, in action.

Transportation

Given the small size of Auxerre and its relative lack of major economical or administrative significance, it’s no wonder that there are not so many transportation methods available to an average tourist. Which shouldn’t dissuade you from visiting this “average French city” (as statistics put it); just make sure you find the best way to reach Auxerre – a matter in which we are ready to help you.

Attractions

The Old Town of Auxerre is the place where you’ll find the most interesting sights in Auxerre. Luckily for you, this French city is not big, not crowded and not polluted, so you can walk at your leisure from one church or museum to another – no worries about where to find a bus, how to call a cab or any other classic of the tourist conundrums.

Events

This French city hosts several events of interest, but they lack the international scope and of those organized in great capitals or famous resorts. Still, if you’re interested in one of them, you’re free to participate.

Restaurants and nightlife

When you’re done with your portion of old church / abbey / cathedral / museum for the day or when you just need a break, enter one of Auxerre’s charming restaurant and let the local cuisine and the Chablis wine work their magic. And when the sun sets on the towers of the old city, just as it did on so many evenings in the past, gather around with friends old or new and have a good time.

History and civilization

The strong point of Auxerre’s tourist offer is its history. Its location, right in the middle of the historically famous province of Bourgogne, is one of the main causes which influenced the city’s tale throughout the numberless years of its existence. If you are that kind of tourist with a strong penchant for history or at least if you enjoy visiting a city with a special, unique atmosphere, than traveling to Auxerre is an excellent idea.
