Travel France - Tour of Vézelay Abbey

Take a tour of Vézelay Abbey in France -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats.

Hi, I'm Naomi and I'm very excited to show you the world's greatest attractions.

Though it bears the scars of raids and rebellions, it remains an extremely majestic abbey.

The ancient Vézelay Abbey crowns the top of a prominent hill in Vézelay, France.

Unlike most abbeys in the world which are fairly simple, this one is quite elaborate.

The main door to the cathedral features a carved stone scene of Christ teaching his Apostles.

At midday in the summer solstice, a path of sunlight illuminates the middle of the knave.

The abbey, the home of many relics, is also a common destination for pilgrims.

Thank you for watching our travel video series. See you next time.
