The Basilica and the relics of St. Mary Magdalene have made and continue to make of Vezelay a major spiritual destination. Vezelay has for centuries captured the imagination of people. Not only is the Basilica Church of St. Mary Magdalene a beacon for Christianity, it is also a place of major importance in history and in art history. It has as such recently been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Vezelay was originally a monastic church, which it is now again while remaining a pilgrimage place. It has also been a parish church for some two centuries. The Basilica is a highly praised spiritual and tourist destination for all alike: believers, pilgrims or visitors.

One of the great roman cathedrals. Some renovations scaffolding when we visited. Daily evening and other services, don't miss.

Marvellous. Thank you, Giselbertus, for the wonderful sculpture. You can see more of his work in the Musée Rolin.

This is one of several citadelles designed by the mighty Vauban, military architect extraordinaire to Louis XIV and considered his masterpiece and the most beautiful. It is illuminated at night but check times as the lights are turned off quite early. There are 3 museums in the Citadelle which can be reached by a bus at Chamars or small train from the centre of Besancon. You can easily spend a whole day there. Take a picnic if weather is lovely. The Resistance Museum and Regional Museum (Musée Comtois) are inside the walls. The walk around the ramparts is stunning and gives a wonderful view of this stunning city on the Doubs which is in a loop in the river.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 12 reviews
Situé en Bourgogne, sur les bords de Loire, le musée présente deux collections distinctes : le témoignage de nombreuses activités humaines liées à l’un des plus grands fleuves d’Europe, ainsi qu’une collection de peintures modernes. Ses collections sont présentées dans un cadre remarquable : l’ancien couvent des Augustins de la ville et son corps de garde attenant. Datant du XVIIe siècle, tous deux sont inscrits à l’inventaire des monuments historiques. Le musée de la Loire bénéficie de l’appellation « Musée de France » du Ministère de la Culture. Chaque année, le musée organise une à deux expositions temporaires autour de thématiques variées et de ses collections permanentes telles que la Loire, les beaux arts, l’art contemporain, l’histoire locale ou encore l’archéologie. Des conférences, des manifestations, des visites viennent ponctuer l'année. Des jeux, panneaux ou dispositifs interactifs permettent au plus grand nombre de découvrir les collections autrement.
