Historic Center of Auxerre

Highlight • Historical Site

The city center of Auxerre (pronounced "Ausserre", the inhabitants want it) is really very beautiful. The tourist route that you can buy at the tourist office takes you in the footsteps of Cadet Roussel. This famous song that we learned in our childhood is inspired by a character who really existed: Guillaume Joseph Rousselle, called younger Roussel, born April 30, 1743 in Orgelet in the Jura and died January 28, 1807 in Auxerre, was a French bailiff for the city of Auxerre. His eccentricity was kindly mocked in this song that bears his name. Take your time to discover the Saint-Étienne Cathedral, the Place de l'Horloge, the quays on the Yonne and the Place Saint-Nicolas.

Clock Tower

Highlight • Other

The original tower, also called Tour Gaillarde, was part of a Gallo-Roman fortification and was often restored, expanded and elevated over the centuries. A city gate was built based on this tower in 1483, which also housed a prison.
There is a small market on the square in front of the tower, at least on Saturdays, where you can buy regional food. A sight that stands out from the many buildings in the city that are worth seeing.
