Semur-en-Auxois is a French commune with 4,068 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2021) in the west of the Côte-d'Or department in the center of the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region.
Semur-en-Auxois is located between Auxerre and Dijon on the Armançon in the Auxois region. The town is surrounded by the Morvan foothills, the Châtillonnais plains and the Autunois countryside.
My photo was taken from the Pont Pinard (from the west), a bridge over the Armançon River, with a picturesque view of the city's silhouette. The main focal point is the Notre-Dame collegiate church.
Höhr- Grenzhausen in the Westerwald, Germany is the Pertnerstadt of Semur-en-Auxois
Sights in Semur-en-Auxois include the Notre-Dame collegiate church (built in 1225) and the Porte Sauvigny, a former city gate.

In Semur-en-Auxois, departmental roads D 980 (Châtillon-sur-Seine–Saulieu) and D 954 intersect. The A 6 motorway (Autoroute du Soleil) runs south of the town, the next junction is Bierre-lès-Semur (No. 23), 9 km from the city center
