Its historic centre is a real jewel boasting medieval houses, countless old churches, the famous Tour de l’Horloge… Not forgetting, of course, a gastronomic heritage that begins with its wines: Irancy, Saint-Bris and, further afield, Chablis.

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".
