France Semur-en-Auxois
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.
