Autun

Autun lies on the Arroux River in Bourgogne–Franche-Comté, France, where the foothills of the Morvan meet Burgundy’s rolling interior. Founded by the Romans as Augustodunum under Emperor Augustus, it preserves an exceptional sequence of ancient monuments, including the Porte d’Arroux, Porte Saint-André and the Temple of Janus. The Romanesque Saint-Lazare Cathedral dominates the old town; its celebrated 12th-century Last Judgment tympanum is a landmark of Burgundian sculpture. Autun also has strong links to the surrounding Morvan, a wooded upland region of lakes and long-distance walking routes.
