Great basilica in Vezelay, approached by a steep hill. Worth every step of the climb. As well as the Basilica, there are often exhibitions in art galleries nearby and a fair sometimes takes place on the green behind the church. The crypt is said to contain the relics of Mary Magdelen - again, well worth the time to visit.

If its meditative atmosphere that your soul craves, then head to this amazing basilica, only a 240 km flight away from Paris. Atop a hill, this jewel of Renaissance art has watched over the village since the 12th-Century. Some of the narrow, twisting streets date back to the 15th-Century, are filled with tourists following in the footsteps of great writers such as Bataille, Claudel and Eluarde. There is a calm that registers strongly, even elevating 'yours truly' to an 'inspired state when we heard the four voiced vespers sung by monks and nuns, creating an intense and very emotional experience. Sure, its impossible to discuss Vezalay without mentioning its basilica. Yet for me, it is the charming lanes, ancient houses and the cuisine of the Mare Meneau that deserves a lot of attention too. Serge Gainsbourg spent the last years of his life here and no wonder, every wall,every street drips with history, some of it significant. At Le Pontot, a favourite drinking spot for locals, we enjoyed a pastis and sampled the local vino, while being advised to go back and indulge in the basilica gardens. Once ensconced there, its like standing in front of a vast horizon, green, blue, yellow and with the cool buildings framing the scene. Unforgetable.

Historical Bascilica set in lovely grounds on top of a hill with panoramic views. At the moment the crypt and the apse are undergoing repair so cannot enter these areas but still can appreciate the Basilica.

we have visited previously; they are restoring much of the church now, which is scheduled to be done in 2015. Still a nice walk to the top around it for the narrow old streets/shops and views.

This medieval basilique is at the top of a winding road in Vezelay but is well worth the walk. It is a stark, bare bones cathedral in contrast to many that you see throughout Europe but that is part of what makes it striking. It is in excellent condition given its age and parts of it were under restoration when we were there. On the backside of the basilique there is a beautiful yard with benches and wonderful panoramic views of Burgundy for miles.

Unfortunately for us, the entire altar area was being restored and was all closed off so that was a big disappointment. We were lucky enough to get a parking space in the area next to the Basilique as it is a long walk up a pretty steep hill to get there and it was drizzling. It is very stark, no stained glass and so I was somewhat disappointed, but should have read my tourist information more closely. On a beautiful day, I'm sure the view makes a big difference.

The Basilique Sainte-Marie-Madeleine de Vézelay is is located in the village of Vézelay - one of the 'plus beaux villages en France' - in the Yonne department of the Bourgogne region. The Basilique and the village of Vézelay are also UNESCO world heritage sites.It's not hard to see why - as you approach the entrance to the village, it's like stepping back in time.Once famed for housing the remains of Mary Magdalene, the Basilique was a major medieval pilgrimage destination. The story goes that, not long before the end of the 10th century, a monk was said to have brought the remains of Mary Magdalene to Vézelay from the tombs of Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume in Provence. After two centuries, the monks of Saint Maximinus made the counter-claim that the remains of Mary Magdalene were still, in fact, in their midst - and Vézelay's importance as a pilgrimage destination waned. (In the 19th century, with the aim of restoring its pilgrimage status, the Archbishop of Sens brought another Magdalene relic to the Basilique. They're housed in the ancient crypt.)The largest Romanesque church in France, the Basilique is one of the masterpieces of Burgundian Romanesque art and architecture. The simplicity and sobriety of the design contrasts with the intricacy of the sculptures that decorate the tympanum and the capitals of the imposing columns - while the vast, vaulted the interior is almost strangely luminous. We didn't know at the time of our visit, but later learned that the Basilique was built in alignment with the sun and, at the summer solstice, the rays of the sun filter through the tall windows project onto the floor of the central nave in a chemin de lumière (path of light). If you're in the Bourgogne, make sure you visit Vézelay and its Basilique magnifique.

I couldn't tell you the difference between Byzantine, Romanesque, or Gothic architecture, but we thoroughly enjoyed our walk through this Cathederal.The old town of Vezelay is quite nice as well, even if only consisting of one street.

This is an outstanding Romanesque- Gothic Basilica and the highlight is the Tympanum which is truly remarkableThe crypt still contains relics of Mary Magdaline - amazing !A tour of the exterior is worth doing and there is a fine view from below the Chateau TerraceA highlight of a visit to Vezelay
