After Noyers we drove on to Auxerre, where we'd spent several pleasant days in 2019. Our 2023 European campaign was coming to an end, and Auxerre offered a convenient stop from which to visit the last four sites before returning to Paris, turning the camper back in, and jetting back to the US. We had covered Auxerre pretty well in 2019, and so just contented ourselves with a leisurely afternoon stroll in the old town. We were in a different municipal campground, in a different part of town, this time, and so availed ourselves of the opportunity to see the church of St. Peter's abbey, which we'd missed in 2019.

| Interior of the abbey church; pretty thoroughly Baroque |
 |
| Among several vandalized paintings |
 |
| Organ |
 |
| Somehow, the place exuded neglect |
 |
| Now walking to the city center |
 |
| Admiring the half-timbered buildings and carvings |
 |
And stopping to have another look at the cathedral...much older
than the abbey church above |

It is always fun to visit an old familiar town.
