This beautiful building whose architecture and gates are much-admired was built from 1735 to 1744, after the plans of the architect J.P. Galzot. The latter who was from Besancon was naturally inspired by Saint-Jacques Hospital to draw the plans for «l’Hotel-Dieu» of Lons-le-Saunier.

Visited the Cathedral in October 2019 whilst on a tour of the area. Auxerre is a very historic town and well worth stopping in and walking around. The Cathedral is situated high above the river and dominates the skyline. The detailed masonary is worth looking at as is the Crypt.

This lovely church has a beautiful mosaic tiled roof, which looked different depending on the sun and time of day. My favourite church in the city.
8. Cathedrale St-Etienne

Regarded as the first of the great Gothic cathedrals, its construction began in 1130. At the same period, catholic buildings were still designed according to Norman architecture. The architect of Sens applied a revolutionary design for the vaulting: the ribbed vault. Then, the Saint-Stephen's Cathedral has known successive developments ("flamboyant" Gothic transept for instance) but has kept a beautiful unit. Our tips: don't miss the unique and popular lightshow "Lumieres de Sens" from mid-June to mid-September! This is an amazing introduction to a detailed visit of the st Gothic Cathedral. Opened everyday of the year from 8.00 am to 6.00 pm. Guiding tours (during the summer) and outlets available at the Tourist Office.
