The irresistable pull of Vezelay

by ATLC - last update: Aug 24, 2007

DRIVING UP TO VEZELAY
Driving back from a holiday deep in the Bourgogne, right through the mighty forests of the Morvan and one hits upon a town, marked in the Michelin guide with 3 stars as being very interesting to visit.
And impressive it is. Spread atop a hill, this place attracts many tourists. But despite that I have been here at least 6 times in 10 years and still enjoy it.
VEZELAY

Just a beautiful house

I was there twice in 2004 and again in July 2005, May 2006, May 2007. And a handful other visits in years longer gone by...
VEZELAY

St. Madelelein's Basilique

The nuns and monks were singing with their back to the people. For concentration, I suppose. It sounded very beautiful.
