Visit Auxerre - home to French Football Federation top-level league, Ligue 1 pro football team - AJ Auxerre! Visit sleepy Auxerre, in Burgundy, on the Yonne River. Medieval Auxerre is home to the former abbatial church of St. Germain built on crypts dating back to the 6th cent. The cathedral (13th–16th cent.) is in the Gothic flamboyant style.
Auxerre was founded by the Gauls and enlarged by the Romans. On a hill overlooking the Yonne River, it's home to many vineyards, some of which produce Chablis. Joan of Arc spent several days here in 1429. Napoléon met Maréchal Ney here in 1815, on the former emperor's return from Elba.
