Autun, a Gallo-Roman and medieval city in Saône-et-Loire

Autun is one of the most heritage-rich towns in Saône-et-Loire (71), in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. Founded by the Romans as Augustodunum, the town retains remarkable ancient (theatre, Temple of Janus, Roman gateways) and medieval (Cathedral of Saint-Lazare, a masterpiece of Burgundian Romanesque art) monuments. As the capital of the Morvan, Autun attracts many visitors throughout the year, giving its flea market a particularly wide reach and following. The rue Carion, in the heart of the town, is a strategic location for this recurring event.
