Vézelay is a wonderful town on a hill. A center for pilgrims.

Pierre-Perthuis Stone Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

South of the beautiful village of Pierre-Perthuis, on an easy descent, you will find this small Roman bridge. The bridge has been extensively restored and offers a great photo opportunity. In addition, a beautiful rest area, which is also visited accordingly.

Perthuis is worth a detour (due to the old stone bridge over the river Cure) and offers a view of Vezelay.

Historic Climb to Avallon

Highlight • Climb

Arrival in Avallon a thousand times cooler than from the North. Arrival from the Cousin road, climb through the old stones and arrive on the cobblestones, at the top what 😎

Avallon

Highlight • Settlement

Now enter the church covered by ribbed vaults whose particularity is to end in the shape of a dome
This is composed of a central nave flanked by two side aisles. You will notice the difference in level of almost 3 meters between the portal and the choir. The height of the pillars as well as the cord which surmounts them follow, like the floor of the church, the slope of the rocky spur on which it is built.
The current organ was built in 1850 by the Grenoble maker Nicolas Chambry, in a classical style from the 16th and 18th centuries. At the same time, a new musical universe is emerging for organists and Avallon is joining in...
When you leave, don't forget to go to the apse of the Collegiate Church to admire the Romanesque cornices whose sculpted modillions (sculpted architectural element supporting a cornice) are interesting.

Very nice view of the castle on the descent. There is only one place to stop and take photos in a safe way.
