The awesome Gothic cathedral was started in 1215, on a patch of land hosting a long line of religious sanctuaries since the 400s. Auxerre Cathedral rivals any in northern France for the splendour of its portal sculptures and stained glass windows. It’s the latter that are most treasured, particularly the lancet windows in the choir’s ambulatory. He...
Above ground this former Benedictine Abbey has 13th-century architecture, while damage to the nave in the revolution separated the Romanesque tower from the body of the church. Below ground, the Carolingian crypt is a wonder of the Early Middle Ages: With a story that goes back 1,500 years the crypt is a multilayered archaeological site with inform...
If you need a place to start, the pedestrian bridge crossing the Yonne gives you a photo-friendly perspective of Auxerre and the towers of its cathedrals and churches rising above the skyline. There’s enough history in the centre of Auxerre to designate it a protected zone, and you’ll have a dizzying amount of medieval buildings to ponder, some wit...
Auxerre’s water-based trades were found by the Yonne a few streets from the city’s main core, so this endearing little neighbourhood of scurrying lanes has its own personality. Living and working here were all the families that relied on the Yonne, whether they were water carriers, boatmen, tanners or merchants. You’ll start to understand how this ...
An eye-opener on a tour of Auxerre’s pedestrian centre is the 15th-century clock tower, which has delicate Gothic ornamentation. The clock face, crafted in the 1600s, is gilded, and rests on a decorative turreted arch propped up to the side of the main tower. Take a minute or two to study the clock’s unusual format, measuring solar and lunar moveme...
The subject of the enduring children’s song “Cadet Rousselle”, Guillaume Rousselle was Auxerre’s eccentric 18th-century town crier who became a figure of mild derision during the Revolution. The song spread far and wide in the 1790s when men from Auxerre who had joined the National Volunteers shared it with people from other regions of France. The ...
The local football team’s glory days are behind it, but something remarkable happened at the Stade de l’Abbé-Deschamps between the 1960s and 2005. For all of this time there was only ever one man in charge: Guy Roux’s longevity as head coach is almost unheard of in the sport. He led them from amateur level to a Ligue 1 title in 1996. Football histo...
Paul Leblanc-Duvernoy was a well-heeled Auxerre local and an ardent lover of the arts, putting on concerts in his fine house on Rue d’Egleny for a large circle of friends. In 1926 he bequeathed his home and its hoards of painting, furniture and tapestries to the city. From the decor, furniture and art you’ll know that Leblanc-Duvernoy had a taste f...
In a resplendent Louis XIII-style mansion to the west of the old centre, Auxerre’s Natural History Museum is a window on the region’s biodiversity and geology over millions of years. These 80,000 specimens have been gathered across two and a half centuries and represent fields from mineralogy to palaeontology. Almost of 60 of these, mostly the foss...
Louis-Nicolas Davout, Napoleon’s “Iron Marshal”, was born in Annoux not far southeast of Auxerre. In 1882 the last daughter of the famous commander set up a room of Davout memorabilia in Auxerre’s Palais des Comtes. This was closed for the last few decades of the 20th century but opened again in 2012 and is a fascinating and intimate look into his ...
