Bought in 1675 by Marshal de Vauban, the founder of Civil Engineering, he carried out many modifications and transformed it into a military garnison. The present owners are descended from the Marshal's eldest daughter, and, amongst the rich furnishings, carefully preserve many mementoes of their famous ancestor (armour, bed-chamber, office, library).Continue to Vézelay, the eternal hill, village classified by UNESCO as one of its cultural world heritage sites: short guided-visit of the basilica dedicated to Saint Mary Madeleine, centre of Romanesque architecture and sculpture.
