I saw this ad recently on the back of a Korean newspaper

Samsung Galaxy S9 Burgundy Red ad on Korean newspaper

What is the city featured on this ad?

I would love to visit there during a stay in France.

The main cities in Burgundy are :

  • Dijon
  • Auxerre
  • Macon
  • Chalon sur Saone
  • Nevers

I am certain it is neither Auxerre nor Dijon. But I cannot recognize the city using Google Images. Any idea?

That is the famous French city of ... Budapest.

The city is not in France. The picture is of the river Danube in Budapest, Hungary.

To expand other answers: judging from the angle (Chain Bridge's east pillar appearing exactly below Margaret Bridge's middle pillar on Margaret Island), the picture was most probably taken from the Gellért Hill in Budapest, at about this point:

I believe either they edited the railing in later, or the place has been restored since Google pictured it. It has been a while since I've been there, so unfortunately I don't quite remember.
