Basilique de Sainte-Marie-Madeleine, Vézelay

[lovingkindness]

Bonjour, pèlerins.

Here is a selection of videos for you to enjoy. Le Voie de Vézelay begins at the Basilique de Sainte-Marie-Madeleine in Vézelay. Several times a day the Brothers and Sisters of Les Monastiques de Jérusalem come together in the cloister and Basilique to pray in silence and to chant. Their music making is exquisite.
