Vézelay

The "Eternal Hill" and starting point of the Via Lemovicensis. Its Basilica of Saint Mary Magdalene, a masterpiece of Romanesque art, is a spiritual beacon for pilgrims.

Discover Vézelay

Vézelay, perched on its "eternal hill" at the heart of Burgundy, is the starting point of the Via Lemovicensis, one of France's four major Jacobean routes. This town, one of France's most beautiful towns, is a place of immense historical and spiritual importance. Its main treasure is the Basilica of Saint Mary Magdalene, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, an absolute masterpiece of Burgundian Romanesque art. For pilgrims, visiting the basilica, with its tympanum of the Mission of the Apostles and its flooded nave filled with light, is a moment of awe and the perfect starting point for a spiritual journey. Vézelay was the site from where the Second and Third Crusades were preached, giving an idea of its medieval significance. The town, with its cobblestone streets and old houses, offers a peaceful and contemplative atmosphere. Starting the Way of St. James here is like standing at the lighthouse of Christianity, a place that has attracted pilgrims for centuries and continues to inspire modern walkers.
