GR®213

From Chamesson (Cote-d'Or) to Vezelay (Yonne)

The GR213 long-distance hiking trail connects the upper Seine Valley to the timeless hills of the Yonne region. This path is an essential component of the Way of St. James (Camino de Santiago), linking pilgrims from the north and east to the prestigious Vézelay Abbey. The heritage along the way is exceptionally rich: hikers pass the imposing Fontenay Abbey, a masterpiece of Cistercian art, before reaching the medieval town of Montbard. In terms of nature, the route showcases verdant valleys, deep deciduous forests, and the meandering Armançon River. The journey reaches its climax as you approach Vézelay, where the silhouette of the Basilica of St. Mary Magdalene rises above the vineyards. It is a path of silence and culture, where each limestone village tells the story of medieval Burgundy.
