Morvan Regional Natural Park

Vézelay Abbey or Abbaye Sainte-Marie-Madeleine de Vézelay is a Benedictine and Cluniac monastery in Vézelay in the Yonne department in northern Burgundy, France. The Benedictine abbey church, now the Basilica of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine, with its complicated program of imagery in sculpted capitals and portals, is one of the outstanding masterpieces of Burgundian Romanesque art and architecture. Sacked by the Huguenots in 1569, the building suffered neglect in the 17th and the 18th centuries and some further damage during the period of the French Revolution.

The church and hill at Vézelay were added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in 1979.

The famous tympanum of the basilica dates back to the 12th century. It represents the origins of the Church, with Christ who blesses the apostles and instructs them to convert the nations. (The basilica is Unesco World Heritage). #Culture #LocalSecrets #Trovember #History

The beautiful gardens at this charming hotel. Set in a tiny village in the middle of France, the nightly rates are very reasonable (less than a standard hotel night in Paris). Large rooms, outdoor pool in the garden, lovely terrace, and helpful staff all make for a great stay.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (160 reviews)

Booked this hotel after visiting Monet’s Garden in Giverny and wanted somewhere to stay close to Versailles but not in central Paris. This hotel was perfect. Just 10 miles/15 mins drive to Versailles. Secure included free parking on site. Plenty of spaces.(30+) Also 4 EV charge points which were not advertised but came as a nice surprise as we drive an EV. And also free to charge! Lovely staff. Very clean. Nice sized room which was quiet and comfortable. Bed fantastically comfortable. Whole hotel felt brand new but is apparently 3+ years old. Water machines on each floor and in reception offering free chilled/sparkling or normal temp water. Very useful as there during a heatwave. Right next door to the hotel was a very nice Italian Restaurant (Del Arte) which was surprisingly busy. Also a KFC next door to that.
