Vézelay

Vézelay Abbey: Medieval Hilltop Views & The Relics of Mary Magdalene

3.8 (4)

Climb the steep Rue Saint-Étienne for the views alone—the valley panorama from the terrace behind the basilica is the real win here. Inside, the Romanesque carvings are impressive, but the energy shifts in the quiet, chilly crypt housing the relics. Spend two hours max, grab a glass of local white wine in the village, and avoid the overpriced souvenir shops near the entrance. It is a long haul without a car, so plan accordingly.

Address: Burgundy, 89450
