In the Burgundy region of eastern France lies the town of Semur-en-Auxois. The town was built on a granite bluff and is encircled by the river Armançon. The town center has a medieval core, and the river played an important role in the town’s development, giving it power for mills and tanneries. Many buildings and structures found throughout the town date back to the medieval period such as the church La Collegial Notre Dame, whose construction began in 1225, and the fortified castle, which was built in the 13th century.
