The site is open from 10 a.m. and can be visited free of charge. There are deckchairs in the cloister for a shady and quiet break. The museums are worth a visit. You learn a lot about the history of the city, which dates back to at least the 5th century. You can see from the church that it has been rebuilt several times. The archaeological crypt, which is located under the forecourt of today's church, is very impressive. You should plan enough time for a visit. It took me almost two hours to get an initial overview. "The former abbey of Saint-Germain d'Auxerre is located north of the city center of Auxerre. Bishop Germanus of Auxerre founded it and provided his family's land outside the former city walls as well as land to ensure its existence. The first building of the monastery was a simple chapel. At the beginning of the 6th century, the Merovingian Queen Chrodechild, the wife of King Clovis I, had the chapel expanded into a basilica. Fires in the 11th and 12th centuries required extensive renovation work on the nave in the second half of the 12th century; Of the Romanesque double tower facade that was built, only the southern tower has been preserved. The monastery was partially destroyed by Huguenots in 1567, secularized in 1810 and partially demolished the following year. The nave was reduced to its Gothic parts, which were given a neo-Gothic façade in 1817: As a result of this measure, the remaining south tower now has no connection to the basilica. Today the Musée-Abbaye Saint-Germain is located on the site of the abbey. Musée d'Art et d'Histoire d'Auxerre."

Vaux was given to the Abbey of St-Julien d’Auxerre from its foundation in the 7th century. From the bridge you have a beautiful view of the village.

This wash house in Chevannes once served as a place to rinse washed laundry (several hundred years ago). The whole town used it at the time. It is now more of a historical monument and is no longer in use.

There is car traffic on this road, but it also offers a panoramic view of the city of Auxerre and its surroundings.

At the statue of the namesake Paul Bert you will find a small balcony from which you can enjoy the view of the old town in peace.

The bike path along the river is wonderful to ride. In front of barrages - like here - you look over a particularly wide expanse of water.
