Auberge de Jeunesse et Camping de l'Ermitage

For thrifty visitors who don't mind a short trek into town, this well-maintained venture 1km south of Vézelay is manna from heaven. After recent renovations, it now shelters well-equipped four- to 10-bed dorms with individual kitchenettes and gleaming en-suite bathrooms, flanked by a spacious, grassy camping area.
