Vézelay

Vézelay is on one of the pilgrimage routes to St Jacques de Compostelo. It has a large basicilica with beautiful carvings over the entrances. The town is quiet at this time of year but has a special feel to it.

From Vézelay I am heading to the small town of Auxerre. Part one is across the countryside and part two follows along the Yonne river and the Nivernais canal. There are several charming little villages on route. Its a dry but chilly day and a relatively easy ride.Lue lisää
