Do we really need to introduce it to you?
This well-known village of Burgundy has seen many famous people pass through, making it known without even intending to! But the one that stands out, and dominates the Burgundy territory from its hilltop, is simply the basilica!
This imposing religious building, saved from ruin by Viollet-le-Duc and a jewel of Romanesque art, has been a UNESCO World Heritage site for 40 years. Thousands of people pilgrim to discover or rediscover this edifice built on the path to Saint-Jacques de Compostelle.
The setting for the cult film “La Grande Vadrouille” with Louis de Funès and Bourvil, this village, surrounded by vineyards, will impress you with its eclecticism: art, literature, gastronomy, religion, nature… the soul of Vézelay is simply authentic and inspiring.

And for the past 10 years, the return of the otter…
We contribute to the conservation of this species by creating a “haven of peace” in close contact with the Morvan Natural Park.
By signing an agreement, we commit to adopting practices favorable to the presence of the European otter and not to harm it or its habitats for feeding, reproduction, and rest.
In return, the SHNA provides advice and recommendations.
You can practice “Fly Fishing” in NO Kill for Fario trout and relax by the water.
Thanks to the association “La Défense du Trinquelin/Cousin” and in the context of ecological continuity, volunteers ensure the quality of water and regular maintenance of rivers and streams so that water flow. Allowing ancestral heritage species of the Morvan to move freely to reach their breeding areas.
A paradise for fly fishing, with our partner l’Ephémère de Bourgogne we offer to accompany you on the various granitic rivers of the Morvan (Cousin, Cure, Trinquelin, Yonne) and limestone rivers of this beautiful region (Seine, L’Ignon, Coquille), to fly fish for predator and trophy fish in private ponds, and to take fly fishing lessons through the ” GPS » association (half-day) on the Griottier reservoir.
Order your fishing card on Avallon-Morvan (weekly €32 – daily €11).
Fishing store in Avallon (3km away), to equip yourself, “Au fil de l’eau.“
If you’re more into fishing but your partner prefers the spa, no problem, we have both!
Nestled in the Serein River, Noyers offers a strong identity as a medieval and wine-producing town. The squares of Petite-Etape-aux-Vins, Marché-au-Blé, or Grenier-à-Sel, along with the beautiful half-timbered facades of 15th-century houses, evoke the prosperous era of the village’s agricultural and commercial activity.
Facing the Morvan Mountains, at the summit of the hill, the Basilica of Sainte-Madeleine majestically watches over the vineyard houses and Renaissance residences. This masterpiece of Romanesque art, restored in the 19th century by Viollet-le-Duc, makes Vézelay a major pilgrimage site and a starting point for the Way of St. Jacques de Compostelle.
Built around a Benedictine abbey founded in the 8th century, this Burgundian town tells its medieval story through its ramparts, fortified gates, cobblestone streets, houses, and hotels… but also through its anise-flavored candy, still manufactured in the former abbey, and whose scent welcomes you upon arrival.
Located in northern Burgundy, the Abbey of Fontenay was founded in 1118 by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, one of the greatest French saints, and is the oldest preserved Cistercian abbey in the world. Classified as a French historical monument in 1862, it was registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1981.
