Travel Advices and Tourism Reviews

Vezelay is tiny, is located in central France and climbs over the crest of a hill; because that’s how cities were built give the Middle Ages to defend major. Con few hundred inhabitants, has two luxuries that travelers sensitized should not skip.

On one side is the great basilica of Vezelay Square facing spot with his strong Roman and after 700 years attests to the power of faith in a time where nothing was secular. Furthermore, Vezelay has the surrounding landscape, a horizon of valleys and gentle slopes of almost incomparable beauty, whose distance can be seen from anywhere in the city.

The route through Vezelay is not too busy and much less visited by tourists who prefer the highways or airlines. But for the visitor lover of beauty and the scent of the centuries, should be known that in central France (where the grasslands of Burgundy) there are other, more discrete through which can result in Dijon.

Bourges is a serious matter not only for the famous Gothic cathedral but by the old palace Jacques Coeur, a tycoon who financed the king himself and was the Rockefeller of the time, whose salon in Bourges has a wooden ceiling carved by marine engineers, which equals a huge boat upside down. It’s worth staying a little in Bourges and discovers their relics. Vezelay travel can be an experience close to that of go into the time tunnel.
