Description of objectOn the banks of the river Cure, at the foot of the picturesque Vézelay, we have two authentic holiday homes for rent. Vézelay is a medieval pelgrimage village. It has a special, thousand-year-old monastery church, dedicated to Mary Magdalene. Hiking on old trails you walk through the most beautiful nature. The cottages lay in the nature park the Morvan, the heart of Burgundy. Bicycles and canoes are provided.
Location of objectFrom the terrace you have a wonderful view over the river, which has been flowing here for millions of years and which in summer also gives a lot of water fun - building dams, fishing or use the available canoes.
On the river is the grange or barn, which is now part of the house. On the other side of the alley there is an old water mill, which has been out of order since time immemorial. It used to be a place where farmers came and went to grind their grain.
In this house once lived a peasant family. It is big enough for seven people, but also for two or only one person is it a great place to live. Outside the season it is comfortable with the wood stove. Electric heating, wifi, washing machine etc. are available.
The very spacious living room upstairs offers a lovely view at the river and the country site. There is a beautiful authentic roof construction of old beams and there is a small floor, the 'sleeping loft', with a double bed.
Town: France, Naturpark Morvan, VézelaySaint-Pčre (350 inhabitants) is famous for its 800 year old church. Although it was not possible to outdo Vézelay, the church is still exceptional. Outside the village there are medicinal springs that were already used in the New Stone Age. The Celts here worshipped the goddess Sulis, the Romans Minerva; both the Celtic sanctuary and the Roman bathhouse have been excavated. The spring water, slightly radioactive and containing iodine, is still considered curative.
Vézelay lies on the 300 metre high 'Scorpion Hill'. At the summit lies the almost thousand-year-old Maria Magdalena monastery church. The church has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It is described in every introduction to art history because of its enchanting sculptures of biblical figures and demons. In the walled city the atmosphere of bygone times still floats. In the Middle Ages, Vézelay was an important place of pilgrimage.
