Beautiful Autun in Burgundy.

This beautiful town '' Autun''
is located in the heart of France .In
Burgundy ,department 71 Saone -et -Loire ,in this Town of about 18 000 people is a beautiful 12 th Century Church , called '' Cathedral
St Lazare.This Cathedral is fantastic and has so much history and the architecture in and out side is beautiful.Autun is a nice town well worth seeing.

This beautiful building isin the town's square ,I am not sure if this is the Town Hall ,but it sure looks like it .The architecture of these buidings are remarkable.France has so much history .

I would think the no 1 attraction in Autun ,the incredible Cathedral St .Lazare this Church is fantastic inside as well as outside, so much to see in this church and there was music playing while we were visiting this church.
Do not miss seeing this Church if you visit Autun ,it is a must see.

    So this is Samson Overthrowing the Temple in a symbolic way! We enjoyed every one of the capitals (with a guidebook in hand). We hope every visitor to Burgundy spends a day in Autun

    You just have to love the details in that gothic architeture. I rather liked the old Citroen 'traction' motor car parked in the town square, too. Good stuff!

    When I saw the car in the central square, I was going to ask if you had taken these pictures in your youth, but then I saw the Mirage plane, so probably not ;-) Another nice page Hans!
