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.

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.

If you have an opportunity to go, GO! The show is unbelievable and so well done. Arrive early and get a seat as close to the field as you can get as it can get quite crowded. You will want to take a blanket/chair to sit on as I don't think seating is provided. The whole town participates in the reenactment and it is absolutely magical.
