Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Traveler OWashington DC, DC1,149 contributionsTowering over Auxerre, this majestic cathedral sits on the hillside and can be seen for miles around. The exterior has an amazing level of detail as does the interior. Just be respectful as it remains an active church with services scheduled regularly.Written 13 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- VanessaLytham St Anne's, UK4,001 contributionsTravelling through France for a couple of weeks, we were staying here for 2 nights in a lovely apartment in old town.
We arrived by BlaBla Bus which drops you within a 10 minute walk of the old town.
As we approached the river, we were amazed at how lovely it was with all the old buildings lining the river and park.
The old town is quite steep and has lots of cobbles.
We wandered throughout the old town for a couple of days taking in the food and a couple of bars.
The people were friendly and we thought it was definitely worth a visit.Written 4 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

While both are excellent I felt the second was better. You are able to appreciate the religious buildings of cloisters, church and crypt but can also visit a historical museum and art exhibition.
The art exhibition was in conjunction with Pompidou and consisted of audio and sometimes visual displays. My favourite was the round robin song in the church. In addition there are modern statues in the church I enjoyed. There is an section where you walk around and over the excavated crypts with archeological information displayed. When we were there the Gallo-Roman part of the museum was open but the prehistoric section was closed. Oh, and it didn't cost anything.Written 26 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The tower itself is likely only accessible on heritage days though.Written 13 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ChrisandMick60Montaren-et-Saint-Mediers, France560 contributionsCompared with the Abbey and Cathedral this is a relatively small church, located only a few minutes walk from the town center. The entrance isn't where you would expect it, it seems to be at the back of the church. Once inside it's the brightness and the wonderful stained glass windows that catch the eye. They really are magnificent, well worth a visit.Written 12 November 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Traveler OWashington DC, DC1,149 contributionsFacade and archway entrance to square were interesting to see with the level of detail, but the church itself was closed - even on a Sunday. Unclear hours or if/when it's accessible - website wasn't helpful either. Recommend checking with tourism office regarding access.Written 13 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Traveler OWashington DC, DC1,149 contributionsAt over 100 years old, this is a nice stadium for football or rugby. It's an old school layout and you can feel the history. Very fan-friendly atmosphere as you're right on top of the action regardless of where you sit. There's a large parking lot across the street - it was free of charge on matchday. You can also walk here from the central part of town, but it's about 1.5-2 km if you walk. Police and ushers did a good job getting people in and out of the area on matchday. Be mindful of match times and your seats as some could be in the sun for the duration on hot days.Written 13 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Traveler OWashington DC, DC1,149 contributionsLocated on one of the central bridges, you can walk by or drive by to see. Nice location as the town is set back behind on the river.Written 13 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
