    • This is one of the main buildings in
    Autun's main town's square ,I think it is the Town Hall but I am not sure it a beautiful
    building.Autun has a lot of history.
    We did not have al ot of time to visit here.
    Just enough for a coffee and a stroll around the town's centre.

     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    		robertgaz Wed Jun 11, 2008 04:47 UTC
     Great pics of the detail in the stonework :~)

     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!    		saraheg77 Wed Jun 15, 2005 23:39 UTC
     It looks like a beautiful place! I hope I make it to France some day!
