Vezelay?

It is about 900 k from Vezelay to St Jean Pied de Port. Forum discussions here I have made a Google Doc out of my findings on the Vezelay route that I will keep adding to as I find relevant sites. So far the pros in favour of this route are

• It is relatively inexpensive, with some pilgrim accomodation
• Beautiful countryside
• Not too crowded.. locals less likely to be jaded by a constant stream of pilgrims
• Reasonably flat and not too hard

Against

• Can be lonely
• Mostly rural.. few cities
• Not as much variety in the terrain?
