Tips
The Saint-Lazare fountain, built in 1543 by Jean Goujon, is one of the most beautiful fountains in Burgundy, it is part of the cathedral enthroned near the porch. At its summit, a sculpture of a pelican, which disembowels itself to feed its young, represents the Eucharist. Its remarkable ornamentation is one of the rare examples of the Renaissance in Autun.
