Public transport: Paris - Vézelay
Trains in the direction of Vézelay depart from the small Paris Bercy Station, which is close to the much larger and more well-known Paris Gare de Lyon Station.
From Gare de Lyon to Paris Bercy Station it is about a 1 km walk, via the Rue de Bercy, or take the Metro (line 14) to 'Bercy' (the first stop after Gare de Lyon).
Attention: pickpockets, especially on busy platforms and in the trains of the subway!
Alternative: by Flixbus (bus station Bercy-Seine) to Auxerre (train station) and from there continue by train.
Get off at Sermizelles-Vézelay station. From there a bus (LR 505) goes to Vézelay.
