When walking through the city of Autun, it is definitely worth visiting this old theatre.

The third president of France (Patrice de Mac Mahon (1808-1893)) was born here. Weddings are still held here regularly.

The Roman Theatre of Autun, built around 70 AD, is one of the largest ancient theatres in Roman Gaul. It could accommodate around 15,000 to 20,000 spectators. Located in the city of Autun, formerly called Augustodunum under the Roman Empire, this monument bears witness to the grandeur of the city at that time. The theatre is distinguished by its vast cavea (the space reserved for spectators), which extends over a natural hill, thus providing excellent acoustics. It is oriented so that spectators have a breathtaking view of the surrounding landscape. The shows given there were varied: theatrical performances, public speeches, and probably gladiatorial shows or religious ceremonies. Today, it remains an important archaeological site. Every summer, cultural events are organized there, such as concerts or historical reenactments, in order to revive the spirit of Antiquity.

As you drive past, you wonder what it used to be and are then amazed at the history of the building. Very interesting...

Truly a magnificent castle, an impressive building. A must-see...

This superb Renaissance-style castle was the birthplace of Marshal Mac Mahon, one of the first presidents of the Republic. The setting will not leave you indifferent.

From the greenway which leads to Autun, you can see the slag heaps of the old Télots mine. The activity of this former bituminous shale mine ended in 1957. The slag heaps are made up of waste materials extracted from the soil.

The Hottinguer wells and their Malakoff-type tower made it possible to extract coal at a depth of 618 meters. They are among the deepest wells in France. The traction system, an atmospheric tube, required high surface installations, hence the tower. In 1910, the addition of a power station supplied villages with electricity as far as Autiun and the Côte de Beaune.
