Edith de la Héronniere is one of the classic writers of Vézelay. This book describes and reflects on a pilgrimage that occurred 40 years earlier, (1977). The pilgrims cross the Morvan hills, then reach Le Puy and proceed, through disturbances at Conques, to make the detour to Rocamadour, illness at Cahors, then another detour to Toulouse and the Arles route, and finally to Puente la Reina and (via Rabanal) to Santiago.
