The Voie de Vézelay (Bourges) crosses open farmland, vineyards, river plains, and low woods from Burgundy through the Loire to Nouvelle-Aquitaine, with weather shifting noticeably by region. This synthesis highlights April, May, and September for longer light, moderate temperatures, and livelier settlements without peak heat. Elsewhere, expect spring showers, summer hot spells with thunderstorms, and autumn cooling toward wetter, colder winter conditions, with shade limited on some sections and paths turning muddy after rain.
