What to expect

During the medieval period, abbeys and monasteries were prominent creative centers. Located in the department of Saône-et-Loire, between Lyon and Dijon, the Abbey of Cluny was long considered the most powerful monastic community in France. Largely destroyed during the Revolution, this abbey, founded over a thousand years ago, still holds many wonders that will dazzle the visitor. The sculpted capitals, the richly illuminated manuscripts, and the harmony of the facades reflect not only wealth but also a taste for art in religious communities from the tenth to the twelfth century.

L'abbaye de Cluny est un lieu incontournable chargé d'histoire en Bourgogne, même s'il ne reste que des ruines. Réservation rapide sur le site. La ville est très agréable.
