Terres d’Auxois

This is where Burgundy reveals its heart, where nature seems to want to recount its history. From an impressive natural defensive site, the people built an exceptional city : discover Semur-en-Auxois, designated Remarkable Heritage Site, its alleys, its dungeon, its church and the valued collections in its museum. Continue your journey and discover the rolling hills, verdant pastures and the limestone plateaus of the surrounding region. Take the plunge from the Butte de Thil, wander through the vegetable garden of Lantilly, let yourself be surprised on the path of shadows in Vitteaux and awaken your senses by tasting the famous Epoisses cheese.

The medieval city of Semur en Auxois has a population of 4500 and is located to the west of the department of Côte-d’Or, in the heart of  Burgundy , half way between Paris and Lyon.

The city is built upon granite , and  encircled by the Armaçon. Semur is located where the foothills of the Morvan, the plain of Chatillon and the surroundings of the region of Autun meet.
