The small building has a square nave with a barrel vault and a small chancel on the east side, also square and with a lancet vault. The originality of the chapel lies in its modest Romanesque decor, with arcades on columns that brighten the side walls and surround the triple bay of the north facade.
The 17th-century southern porch is what remains of a Franciscan church.

The site of La Cordelle, at the foot of the Eternal Hill towards Asquins, marks the place where Saint Bernard preached the Second Crusade in 1146. The Romanesque chapel was built in the mid-12th century by the Abbot of Vézelay in memory of this great historical event. It is also the site of the first Franciscan monastery in France, founded around the chapel in 1217. Long forgotten, the chapel is once again inhabited by the Franciscans and is open to visitors.

If you turn left in Vezelay in front of the basilica and hike down the beautiful cobblestone path to Saint-Père (possible as a circular hike), you will inevitably pass this small, mystical chapel de la Cordelle. A detour is very worthwhile.
