Pause at the monastery

Reserve my spot

A weekend to rest in God's presence

Simply take time during a weekend, welcomed by the brothers and sisters of the Monastic Fraternities of Jerusalem in Vézelay.

In this exceptional site, also called the eternal hill, let yourself be touched by beauty and silence, carried by prayer, and prepare to live Easter following Saint Mary Magdalene, first witness of the resurrection and patron saint of the place.
