The Benedictine Abbey of Vézelay | France


Postcard
Shortly after its foundation in the 9th century, the Benedictine abbey of Vézelay acquired the relics of St Mary Magdalene and since then it has been an important place of pilgrimage. The church and hill at Vézelay were added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in 1979. 
 
La colline éternelle means something like ‘the eternal hill’.
