    Vezelay Camino October 2020 - Recommendation Request

    Hi Sara, L'Esprit-Du-Chemin in Anthien is a very nice place with very kind hosts. If you are not too much in hurry, stay one day in Vézelay: it is small but very nice and there is a lot to look at and see in the basilica and around. Buen Camino, Jacques-D.

    OMG! Roughly 10 years to reach the point of having an equivalent (almost...) of the Guide Jaune of Madame Chassain: a unique place to walk from Vézelay to St-Jean-Pied-de-Port.

    Accueils jacquaires: are there any on the Vézelay Route

    Hello AJ, Out of the MiamMiamDodoDodo, the site of the Dutch pilgrims association is a very good starting point for the pilgrims on the Voie de Vézelay.
