    This church was damaged by the Saracens in the 13th century. The restoration and completion did not take place until 1658.
    The church is open during the day. One should go far ahead to admire the enormous height of the dome.

      One of several imposing churches in Auxerre. Externally, like the other churches, it has a very monumental appearance. In contrast to the other churches, it looks rather modest and pale on the inside, which means that there are fewer tourists here and the church therefore appears quieter.

        The church is located in the heart of ancient Auxerre, outside the 3rd century city wall but included in the 11th century wall. The portal of the old religious community, the main access to the church, is at the bottom of rue Joubert near rue du Pont.
        The location has been occupied by a place of worship dedicated to Saint Peter since at least the 6th century. Concerning the older occupation of the place, archaeological excavations carried out in 2007 on the north-west side of the current church demonstrated a continuity of the habitat, taken up and modified several times, until the end of the Merovingian period. .

        The current nave was inaugurated in 1894, after destruction in 1891 of the previous nave from the 12th and 13th centuries.
