Geography

[edit]

Auvillars-sur-Saône is located some 14 km south-east of Nuits-Saint-Georges and 20 km east by north-east of Beaune. Access to the commune is by the D996 road from Corcelles-lès-Cîteaux in the north which passes south down the western side of the commune to Pouilly-sur-Saône. The D35A branches off the D996 in the commune and goes to the village then continues south to Glanon. The D20 branches west off the D996 and goes to Bagnot. Apart from the village there is the hamlet of Auvillars in the south. Apart from patches of forest in the centre of the commune the land is all farmland.[3]

The Saône river forms the eastern boundary of the commune as it flows south to eventually join the Rhône at Lyon. The Raie du Lac flows south through the centre of the commune to join the Saône.[3]
