Semur-en-Auxois, a Medieval Gem of Burgundy

Semur-en-Auxois is one of Burgundy's most beautiful medieval towns. Perched on a pink granite spur surrounded by the meanders of the Armançon river, the town offers a striking panorama with its four round towers of the keep, its 13th-century Notre-Dame collegiate church, and its cobbled streets lined with half-timbered houses. The car boot sale at the Hall Agricole is an opportunity to discover this exceptional heritage while finding great bargains.

Local Black Pudding, a Refreshment Stand Specialty

A popular originality for visitors, the refreshment stand offers locally made artisanal black pudding, accompanied by hot and cold drinks. This typically Burgundian gastronomic touch adds to the charm of this friendly event. It's also an opportunity to taste local Auxois products in a warm, village-like atmosphere.
