About Auxerre
Auxerre is a charming town located in the Burgundy region of France, known for its picturesque streets lined with half-timbered houses and historic buildings. The currency used in Auxerre is the Euro. The town is famous for its impressive Gothic cathedral, Saint-Etienne, and the Abbey of Saint-Germain, which dates back to the 9th century. Visitors can also explore the quaint shops and cafes along the river Yonne, or take a wine tour of the nearby vineyards.
When to visit
The best time to visit Auxerre is during the spring and summer months, from April to September, when the weather is mild and the town comes alive with outdoor markets and festivals. Fall is also a great time to visit for the beautiful autumn foliage. Winter can be cold and rainy, but the town is less crowded and offers a cozy atmosphere for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.
Getting around
Auxerre is a compact town that can easily be explored on foot, with most of the main attractions located within walking distance of each other. Visitors can also rent bicycles to explore the surrounding countryside or take a boat tour along the river. Public transportation options include buses and taxis, but a car is not necessary for getting around the town.
Traveller tips
Don't miss the opportunity to try the local Burgundy wines, which are some of the best in France. Be sure to visit the weekly market in the town center to sample fresh produce and local specialties. Wear comfortable shoes for exploring the cobblestone streets and hilly terrain. Learn a few basic French phrases to communicate with locals, as English may not be widely spoken. Check the opening hours of attractions in advance, as some may have limited hours or be closed on certain days.
