Basilica of Saint Mary Magdalene in Vézelay

Highlight • Religious Site

The Basilica of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine has been listed as UNESCO since 1979. It is one of the starting points of the Santiago de Compostela trail. It is here that Saint Bernard preached the second crusade. It is a high place of Christianity.

Saint-Père-sur-la-Cure Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

On the Cure, the very old bridge of St-Père, remodeled several times, has kept its appearance from the end of the 18th century. It is difficult to date the first stone bridge. Like the Asquins bridge, it is very important due to its history and location. A Roman bridge may have existed at St Père, each bank being bordered by a Roman road. In the Middle Ages and after, the Cure separated the Duchy of Burgundy, the County of Nevers and the royal lands and St Père was located on strategic and very busy communication routes. In addition, the town was very close to the rich abbey and basilica of Vézelay and Avallon, therefore on a famous pilgrimage route.

La Cure

Highlight • River

If you come from the brewery, near which there are also hiking parking lots, you will pass this beautiful embankment on the Cure shortly before the village. From here you have a beautiful view of the opposite bank with the church and the historic stone bridge crossing the river. A very nice photo opportunity.

Cordelle Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

The small building has a square nave with a barrel vault and a small chancel on the east side, also square and with a lancet vault. The originality of the chapel lies in its modest Romanesque decor, with arcades on columns that brighten the side walls and surround the triple bay of the north facade.
The 17th-century southern porch is what remains of a Franciscan church.

The site of La Cordelle, at the foot of the Eternal Hill towards Asquins, marks the place where Saint Bernard preached the Second Crusade in 1146. The Romanesque chapel was built in the mid-12th century by the Abbot of Vézelay in memory of this great historical event. It is also the site of the first Franciscan monastery in France, founded around the chapel in 1217. Long forgotten, the chapel is once again inhabited by the Franciscans and is open to visitors.
