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.

Visited the Cathedral in October 2019 whilst on a tour of the area. Auxerre is a very historic town and well worth stopping in and walking around. The Cathedral is situated high above the river and dominates the skyline. The detailed masonary is worth looking at as is the Crypt.

Alas we opted not to pay to see the closed part of the crypt (with frescoes) and meanly walked around for nothing. Despite our loss, what we did see was fabulous, including parts of the excavated crypt dating back over 1000 years with stone coffins beneath our feet. The existing cloisters, chapter house and church, dating to the 13thC and later are well worth seeing. As usual we marvelled at the wealth and power of the medieval church with its lofty interior and beautiful stained glass. The adjoining museum houses some woderful Roman artefacts found in Auxerre and surroundings.
