Riverside esplanade with tree-lined paths and clear views across the Yonne toward Auxerre’s historic center. Shoot river reflections, seasonal foliage and the cathedral spire framed by promenades. Best at sunrise or golden hour for soft light and reflections; weekdays are quieter. Easily accessible on foot from the old town; street parking nearby. No entry fee; bring layers in spring/autumn for chilly mornings.
