Auxonne is a commune in the Côte-d'Or department in Bourgogne in eastern France.
Auxonne is one of the sites of the defensive structures of Vauban, clearly seen from the train bridge as it enters the Auxonne SNCF train station on the Dijon - Besançon train line. It also was home to the Artillery School where Napoleon received his first training.
It is sister-city with Heidesheim in Germany.
