Just wondering if anyone knows of any daytrips to Vezelay and /or Fontenay from Dijon? I%26#39;m thinking of just tackling it myself by train to Montbard/Semicelles then taxi from there(unless there%26#39;s a bus). Is one day enough to get to one or both of these places for a decent amount of time and then back to Dijon?

We had a car so I can%26#39;t speak to your transportation questions. But if you are trying to decide which one to visit and can%26#39;t do both, then I would definitely recommend Vezelay over the Fontenay Abbey. The latter was a beautiful place and maintains much of its historical integrity (not disturbed and rebuilt) but it all seemed static and austere (of course, that%26#39;s monks for you). by way of comparison, I had much more fun wandering amid the ruins of Cluny and imagining what it was like in its heyday.
