À propos du lieu

Chapelle de la Cordelle

Chemin de la Cordelle 89450 Vézelay

Located on the north side of the hill of Vézelay, the hermitage of Cordelle shelters the chapel Sainte-Croix built by 1150 memorialising the predication of the second Crusade by Saint Bernard. It is in 1217 when two adherents of François d' Assise settle down to the hermitage of Cordelle (the Franciscans occupied the place up to French Revolution). Having sold as very National in 1791, Cordelle was transformed into stony career(quarry) at the beginning of the XIXth century. Entered in the heritage of the family of the counts of Chastellux from the start, these acquire(buy back) her(it) by 1840\. The old(former) convent found its religious vocation in 1949, when the Franciscans established a hermitage there. The brothers Franciscans always occupy the house.
