• The Autun is located in the center of Burgundy and is the gateway to the Morvan Regional Nature Park. Autun, city of Art and History, has preserved many traces of ancient times and the medieval. It was during the reign of Roman emperor Augustus (27 BC / 14 AD.). Autun is born: its ancient name is Augustodunum. The Roman emperor wanted to create a great city in Gaul which shows the Roman power. She was therefore endowed with splendid monuments that are still famous. In the Middle Ages, the city, recently hosting the supposed relics of St. Lazarus became an important place of pilgrimage, and is seen with a new cathedral. The Cathedral Saint-Lazare (1120), Romanesque church of Cluny type, is famous thanks to its tympanum carved with great detail representing the doomsday and signed Gislebertus. This masterful portal is the canons of exceptional preservation Autun. The Tourist Office, located downtown, close to the medieval and Gallo-Roman monuments welcomes you and helps you in developing your stay.
