Origin and history

Auxerre is a historic monument located in the department of Yonne, Burgundy-Franche-Comté. Dating from the 1st quarter of the 19th century, it marks the exit of the city along the national road 6. Its precise location, 1 Avenue d'Egriselles, is listed in the Merimée base under the code INSEE 89024, corresponding to the commune of Auxerre.

Ranked by ministerial decree on 29 January 1958, this pillar shows the importance of road infrastructure at the beginning of the 19th century, a period of development of communication networks in France. Its status as Historic Monument underscores its heritage value, although its exact location is considered to be of poor accuracy (level 5/10 depending on the sources).

Available data from Monumentum and internal archives indicate that the terminal is referenced under Cadastre F 36. No additional information is provided concerning its sponsor, architect or specific use beyond its road function.
