What a wonderful place to begin your camino!
At Vezelay Romanesque, Gothic, and 19th century intervention form timeless beauty; eternal peace is combined with man-made perfection.
May your time spent there be a special beginning to a safe and Buen camino.

I’d love to follow your progress as this is the Camino I wanted to do this Summer (but I chickened out), also going through Nevers.
I wish you well 🙂 Bon chemin!

Hi Flavio,
Don't miss the office of the pilgrims: 24, rue St-Pierre, just before the "Accueil des Sœurs Marie-Madeleine"
You will find a lot of information for the whereabouts the voie de Vézelay.
Buen Camino,
Jacques-D.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
This is a wonderful route. If the "yellow" Chassain guide is still being updated, this is the one to go for. I got my copy in Vezelay.
One problem with the route is (or was - I did it in 2010) the lack of infrastructure. Many villages have no shop or bar. However, many refuges in such villages have canned food, beer and wine with prices marked and which you pay for on an honour system.
 
The place to go on internet for the "Voie de Vézelay" is this one.
Go to "Tracks and guides"
On the left side of the map, click on the "Down arrow" to access the full menu and expand the map by clicking on the "Square" icon to expand the map to full screen.
You can now explore the tracks and get information about most of the infrastructure available...
Buen Camino,
