Auxerre

Auxerre is a special city in France, a country far across the ocean. It's like the capital of a smaller area called Yonne, which is part of a bigger historical region called Burgundy. Think of it like being the main town in your neighborhood, which is part of your whole city, which is part of your state!

It's located southeast of a very famous city called Paris. So, if you drew a map, Auxerre would be a little bit down and to the right from Paris.

People who live there are called Auxerrois. They have a special name, just like you might be called a 'New Yorker' if you live in New York! The city is known for making things and is a place where people buy and sell goods.

Guess what? Auxerre is famous for making delicious Burgundy wine! You might have heard of Chablis, which is a type of wine that comes from nearby.
