Vezelay

Today we jumped in the car for our final day in Burgundy. Our first destination Vezelay. A very interesting old town. The Main Street is up a hill where the church is located. The relics of Mary Magdeline (her little finger) are kept here.

It turns out that Vezelay is one of the big starting points for the Camino de Santiago that I will be doing in September. The symbol for the pilgrimage is a scalloped shell. Outside the church we found the symbol marking the start of the journey.
