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.

Alas we opted not to pay to see the closed part of the crypt (with frescoes) and meanly walked around for nothing. Despite our loss, what we did see was fabulous, including parts of the excavated crypt dating back over 1000 years with stone coffins beneath our feet. The existing cloisters, chapter house and church, dating to the 13thC and later are well worth seeing. As usual we marvelled at the wealth and power of the medieval church with its lofty interior and beautiful stained glass. The adjoining museum houses some woderful Roman artefacts found in Auxerre and surroundings.

There is a tourist trail that takes you to all the relevant parts of this really old town - you follow the triangles set in the pavement. We didn’t have much time but will certainly be returning- what a town!

The Caves Bailly Lapierre are located in the heart of the Auxerrois, above the town of St Bris le Vineux. Created in 1972, the Caves Bailly Lapierre gather together 71 winegrowers who sell their cremants, the Caves' specialty, and wines on site. Dug deep in the stone, the wine caves are used as a cradle in which to create cremants. Guided tours of the caves are organized every day from 2:30 to 5:30 pm, in july and august, and from 3:30 to 4:30 pm on weekends and bank holidays.

The cave is huge, several millions of bottles are stocked. When I arrived I parked my car directly in the cave, we took the tour for 1h including a double champagne flute of cremant tasting. Don’t forget your sweat shirt, the temperature is approximately 12 degrees.
