A Surprising Day With a Visit to Auxerre, a Wine Tasting, and a Stop in a Leisure Park

Start the day by discovering the beautiful city of Auxerre – lose yourself in the narrow streets of the historic centre and see the surprising half-timbered houses.
The Clock Tower is one of the symbols of the city, and it has been under construction for the past two years. It has just been inaugurated in September 2022. For a little anecdote, the clock has been running since 1483. Also, don’t miss out on admiring the Saint-Étienne d'Auxerre Cathedral!

Located in a magnificent 19th-century winegrower's house, the Clos du Cèdre is a gastronomic restaurant with one Michelin star.
The cuisine is inventive and draws its inspiration from the sources of the Burgundy region.
They have more than 600 wine references, with an important place for Burgundy wines.
