"When the 12th century speaks to us in the 21st ..." This visit allows an architecture that is 900 years old to speak to our hearts today. Everyone receives essential keys to fully appreciate Vézelay and its Basilica. For our guides, it is about being smugglers from one bank to the other, from a world in front of us to the one we carry within. It invites wonder and an understanding of the intentions and building laws that underlie architecture. By making the stones speak, it transmits living information and not only objective information or learned content reserved for initiates. In this perspective, he proposes to enter into knowledge in the primary sense of the verb to know, "to be born with".

La qualité de la visite par un guide remarquable d'érudition, était exceptionnelle J'étais accompagnée de mes petits fils (7ans et 11 ans) qui ont été fascinés par les explications sur la construction de la Basilique, l'utilisation de la lumière du soleil, les techniques de mesure etc... le guide adaptant en permanence les informations transmises, à leur niveau.

Die Tour wurde nur auf Französisch angeboten, obwohl ich sie in englischer Sprache gebucht hatte. Zum Glück sprach die Führerin langsam, sodass ich folgen konnte. Inbegriffen war nur eine kurze Erläuterung zu der Bauweise und Architektur der Basilika an einem Modell; der Besuch der Basilika kostete noch einmal extra, was mir bei der Buchung nicht klar war. Der kunstinterpretatorische Ansatz war zwar insgesamt interessant, wurde mit der Zeit aber ein bisschen langatmig. Um die Basilika besser verstehen zu können, hätte ich mir auch ein paar Hintergrundinformationen zur Erbauung und involvierter Persönlichkeiten erhofft.

Étonnante visite qui a lieu à la Maison du Visiteur, au cœur de Vezelay, qui nous fait découvrir les secrets de la construction de la Basilique. Une découverte à faire avant de monter jusqu'à la Basilique pour mieux pouvoir "la lire" et la comprendre.
