This Romanesque chapel on the hillside below Vézelay dates back to the 12th century, when Bernard de Clairvaux gave a sermon on this spot to launch the Second Crusade. Nowadays it's an off-the-beaten-track refuge, valued by pilgrims and recreational walkers for its lovely setting and peaceful ambience.
