Up to date Info needed on Vezelay route

[irishpilgrim]

HI
We have completed the Le Puy route and are now looking at the Vezelay route. Does anyone know of a website that gives distances/ accommodation/height profiles for this route like Godaselco does for the Frances and Le Puy? I am concerned that the distances between accommodation might be too far for us. We prefer about 20km per day. We will stay in any reasonably priced accommodation, does not have to be pilgrim gite. At the moment we would like to start with about ten days walking. We are very anxious to visit Vezelay itself for a couple of days and then walk for about 10 days, but its difficult to plan without good info. I think I'll bite the bullet and buy the french guide book but in the meantime if anyone has any up to date info I would be very grateful.

Bon Camino to all

This is a good place to start (there is nothing comparable to the Godaselco).

To get the very excellent guide book, use this order form (the form and guide are in French).

I am a 20km per day guy, and did just fine on the Voie de Vezelay, with a taxi assist one day when I ran out of steam.

Don't expect to hear any English. At one gite, we were the first pilgrims in three weeks, and the first ever from the U.S.

Edit: Fourth edition may be available here:

Not currently available here, but maybe in the future:

Thank you Falcon
When you walked which route did you take, by Bourges or by Nevers? The CSJ bookshop have the 2012 French guide and I'm waiting to hear from them if they expect a 2013 version. If not I will order the 2012.

I went the Bourges route. From my reading, the 2012 5th edition is the latest edition. I don't think they revise it annually; nothing changes all that much!
