France Burgundy Autun

Autun is a commune in Burgundy in eastern France. It was founded during the early Roman Empire as Augustodunum. The city boasts two ancient Roman gates (the Porte St.-Andre and Porte d'Arroux) and other ruins dating to the time of Augustus. One of the most impressive remains is that of the ancient theater, which was one of the largest in the western part of the empire with a 17,000 seat capacity. Autun Cathedral, also known as St. Lazare's cathedral, dates from the early twelfth century and is a major example of Romanesque architecture.

Formerly considered the sister and equal of Rome, you can still feel the Roman Empire's influence throughout this town.

My experience with RoutePerfect was better than I expected. The website was intuitive, the staff were extremely helpful and I can't think of a single bad experience with the RoutePerfect service. We had a wonderful trip. The hotels were what we expected them to be, except one which was WAY better than expected. With your site, I was able to plan our honeymoon with ease, without any travel agents. I'm lead to believe that we got the best hotel prices as well and I was happy with what we paid. I managed to save a lot of money for shopping :) Our Italy trip was amazing, and exactly how we imagined.

This trip was a very satisfying experience and a good part of it is thanks to your website. The hotels were well located and in line with our expectations. Your planning tool, its adjustments to our requirements, easy modification of the number of days and cities we wished to visit - all of this has afforded us an excellent holiday. Thank you very much for your services.
