From Wikitravel

Vezelay is a small town in Burgundy, a region of France which is southeast of Paris and north of Lyon. Its location is on top of a high hill. Its main claim to fame is as the home of a stupendous early Gothic cathedral, which is widely considered one of the greatest in Burgundy. A beautiful panorama of the surrounding Burgundian countryside is visible from the area to the right of the back of the cathedral.

Access to Vezelay is by well-maintained secondary roads. If you are driving, make sure to get a good map. Michelin puts out an excellent road atlas that will serve you well.

The easiest way to get in is by car. You will take a secondary route up the hill.

The fabulous Gothic cathedral, which also has Romanesque elements. As Vezelay is a small town and the Cathedral is in the center, you really can't miss it.
