Semur-en-Auxois
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Semur-en-Auxois is a commune of the Côte-d'Or département, in France.
Semur-en-Auxois has a medieval core, built on a pink granite bluff more than half-encircled by the River Armançon. The river formerly provided motive power for tanneries and mills, but its flow is now somewhat reduced by the Lac de Pont, a dam built upstream in the 19th century to provide water for the Canal de Bourgogne.
Semur-en-Auxois was the start of Stage 6 in the 2007 Tour de France.
