Taxi Dijon → Auxerre

Auxerre is a city of art and history with 35,000 inhabitants, prefecture of the Yonne, that unfolds like an amphitheatre on the banks of the Yonne river. Its panorama from the Pont Paul-Bert — with the spire of Saint-Étienne Cathedral, the bell tower of Saint-Germain Abbey and the Burgundian tiled roofs — is one of the finest urban views in Burgundy. The Saint-Étienne Cathedral, a masterpiece of Rayonnant Gothic begun in the 13th century, houses exceptional stained glass and an 11th-century Romanesque crypt adorned with the oldest known fresco depicting Christ on horseback. The Saint-Germain Abbey, founded in the 5th century, has one of France's best-preserved Carolingian crypts. Auxerre is also the gateway to the Chablis vineyard, just 20 km away: this dry, mineral white wine made from chardonnay grapes on Kimmeridgian soils enjoys worldwide renown. Taxis from Dijon are used by TGV connecting passengers, wine tourists heading to Chablis, and visitors to Burgundy's heritage sites.
