Autun travel guide

Visit Autun (Burgundy-Franche-Comté, France)

Autun is a town in the Saône-et-Loire department of Burgundy, to the north-west of Chalon-sur-Saone . The town was an active and lively centre even in Roman times, and it is still the Roman remains that are one of the big attractions.

Autun is listed as one of less than 100 important Historic Towns in France and is also classified among the official French Towns of Art and History .

Explore Autun

A fairly small town, Autun still has the original fortified walls (ramparts) around the old town, is in an attractive setting with the Morvan Hills behind, and is one of the most visited towns in Burgundy.

Start your visit with a look at the ramparts, which are well preserved and in places have attractive stone houses built above the walls.

Your visit can continue in the historical centre of Autun, near the cathedral. The Cathedral of Saint-Lazare is an attractive Roman style cathedral within the town walls, dating originally from the 12th century although signficant modifications were made in the following centuries, and the spire was added in the 16th century.

The cathedral is above all famed for its carvings and sculptures. Outside there are statues by Gislebertus, one of the best of the Romanesque sculptors - see the story of the Last Judgement in the tympanum above the west door for some of the best examples - while inside you can see some attractively carved capital stones.

Next to the cathedral you can see the Saint-Lazaire fountain, and in the area around the cathedral you can explore some pedestrianised streets with bars and restaurants if you are looking for somewhere to eat.

The centre of Autun is largely situated in the streets around the two large squares that are next to each other. One is dominated by Autun's Theatre and Town Hall and the other by the impressive Lycée buildings.

Be sure to also visit the 'Covered Passage', an ornate shopping arcade with a glass ceiling built in the 19th century.

Another unexpected discovery in Autun is the old prison. Set on a circular plan, it was one of the first prisons in France to be built around individual 'prison cells'.

Roman remains in Autun

There are several Roman remains to be seen in and around Autun. These include two remaining gates that were part of the fortified walls: the Porte d'Arroux to the north and the Port Saint-Andre to the east. Both follow a similar design, with wider arches for carriages to pass through and narrow arches for pedestrians.

The Port Saint-Andre is the best preserved and the most impressive of these two gates.

You can also see the Roman amphitheatre; and the Temple of Janus, although the remaining corner of the temple only hints at the grandeur of the original building. It is said that there were originally other temples nearby. The theatre was among the largest in the Roman empire and could seat up to 20 000 people.

Another interesting roman remain in Autun is the slightly curious pyramid Pierre de Couhard at the south of the town and outside the walls.

Museums in Autun

There are several museums in Autun, dedicated to such diverse subjects as Natural History; the children who played in bands that accompanied the French Army (the Musée des Anciens Enfants de Troupe); and the Musée Lapidaire that contains various architectural items from the medieval period, among others.

If you only have time to visit one museum, the Musée Rolin has an interesting collection of art and historical items including those by the well known medieval artists Gislebertus and the Maitre des Moulins. Among the highlights is a statue of the Mary-Magdalene, brought here from the Cathedral of Autun.

Attractions nearby

The most popular attraction close to Autun is at Bibracte. This was once the capital town of the gauls in France, and archaeological digs, reconstructions of buildings and a museum help to recreate the life of this important community.

Autun is also a gateway town for exploring the quiet countryside of the Morvan Natural Parc , to the west of the town.

Autun is a small walled hill city in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté , France .

Understand [ edit ]

Steeped in Roman history, complete with a spectacular Romanesque spire standing proud against the Morvan hills, Autun, formerly Augustodunum , was a garrison town during the Roman Empire .

Although the lower parts of this city are fairly modern with bowling alleys, McDonald's and lots of students milling around, stroll further into the heart of the centre and you find yourself wandering through numerous winding streets lined with fantastic architecture, quaint shops, cafes and restaurants before reaching the rather impressive cathedral.

It’s small enough to access everything on foot, but large enough to hold your interest for quite some time. It also has a beautiful French atmosphere that is just waiting for you to soak up!

Get in [ edit ]

Autun is accessible by bus or car, via secondary roads.

You can fly to Lyon, about 2 hours away by car.

Get around [ edit ]

It's best to walk through the walled city centre.

See [ edit ]

• The very well-preserved Roman walls which still surround most of the city.
• The excellent museum.
• Autun cathedral . The cathédrale Saint-Lazare (Cathedral of St. Lazarus) is the 12th-century historic edifice famous for the superb artwork of the Romanesque master Gislebertus. It is considered as the most significant church in the town and also as among the most vital Romanesque churches in the country. Originally, the structure was intended to be a pilgrimage church instead of a cathedral as it was dedicated to Lazarus, the man who was raised from death by Jesus. His relics, preserved in this Autun Cathedral, were found in the area in the 12th century. Lazarus, the brother of Mary Magdalene, has his traditional tomb in Bethany near Jerusalem.

Do [ edit ]

The countryside in this area is truly breathtaking; from the Parc Regional du Morvan with its forest-clad hills and cascading streams, to authentic French villages where you can sit by the river with a freshly-made croissant and simply soak up the atmosphere.

Découvrez Autun et voyagez dans l’histoire de cette cité fondée par l’Empereur Auguste en 15 avant J-C. Autun, ancienne capitale des Éduens, qui a su traverser les siècles tout en conservant les témoignages de son passé.

Partez à la découverte du bourg d’Anost et de son histoire à travers le temps, et venez découvrir Couches, ce village aux milles facettes et l’histoire de ses monuments implantés dans l’histoire de la ville au fil du temps. De nouveau audioguides ont été développés an 2023 pour Épinac, cette ancienne cité minière qui a beaucoup à raconter, et pour Lucenay L’Évêque, village Morvandiau paisible. Une dernier circuit a été établi pour que vous revisitez l’Histoire des lavoirs à Autun.

Avec ce concept, vous êtes libres du tour de votre visite à Autun. A la différence de Wivisites, vous n’êtes pas obligé de suivre un parcours tracé pour écouter l’audioguide. C’est vous qui choisissez votre ordre de visite. Lorsque vous voyez un monument, scannez et écoutez !

Cette technologie de recherche visuelle vous permet d’identifier de façon ludique les édifices qui sortent de l’ordinaire, les trésors de la ville et ses recoins secrets. Obtenir une réponse immédiate sans chercher. Un(e) guide à la demande répond instantanément à la question : quel est ce monument ? Et vous choisissez un commentaire en fonction de vos envies. Des guides professionnels vous racontent, à la demande, les petites et la grande Histoire des monuments, de la ville… Des anecdotes à partager ! Votre « carnet de voyage » archive toutes vos conquêtes culturelles et vos coups de cœur. Avec Whatizis, gardez un œil sur vos découvertes et vos voyages.
