Auxerre

The town of Auxerre has developed at the cross-roads of two major routes, the Agrippa Roman Way, linking the Mediterranean to the North Sea, and the River Yonne. Down the centuries, a high level of economic activity, dominated by wine growing and trade, has ensured the continuous development of the city and created a countenance characterised by the richness and diversity of its heritage of buildings. The historic center is a genuine mosaic of architectural styles.
