Considering the Le Maxime in Auxerre?

interesting sculpted corners on timbered buildings by angiebabe
There are many lovely timbered or timber framed houses around Auxerre - most likely from around the 16th century -
look out for the ones with interesting sculpted decorations on the corner posts.
I saw a few of them which adds to the novelty of being in and roaming around a town with such character and historical sights to see!
