Description
English: Saint-Etienne cathedral, Auxerre, Burgundy, France, seen from the right bank of the river Yonne. In front of the cathedral, slightly on the right of the photo, is the old bishop palace (now the siege of the Yonne departement' prefecture) : in the center, the 12th century "salle capitulaire" or chapter room, with a cross on top of each two gables ; on its left and built at the same time, the bishop's lodgings with its much admired roman gallery that runs from end to end ; on its right there used to be a finely crafted chapel dedicated to St-Nicolas, built by Guy de Mello (bishop 1247-1269) ; that chapel was destroyed by Dominique Séguier (bishop 1631-1637). The house that stands there now is roofed with slates ; the two older buildings have the traditional flat dark red roof tiles.
