In Auxerre, immerse yourself in centuries of history. Discover the impressive 15th century old Clock Tower and its pedestrian shopping area. Let yourself be charmed by the beautiful timber-framed shop houses, mansions, etc. Also visit Saint-Etienne Cathedral and the Abbey of Saint-Germain with its Carolingian crypts. Majestic, it overlooks the Yonne and its docks.
To the east of Auxerre is the prosperous little town of Chablis, 15 km down the road, famous for its white wine from the Chardonnay grape, sometimes referred to as 'liquid gold'.
