  • This is a former hospital in Beaune France. It was founded in 1443 and used as a hospital until 1971. Part of the complex is a retirement home, part is a museum and a hotel

  • Super place. Well worth an hour away from the wine in Beaune. Beautiful building and interesting displays in an old hospital. Audio guide and plan provided. Good value.
  • Historical landmark which served as the first ever hospital in the world. The place have a rich history and a nice audio guided tour. I would say this is this is the main attraction in Beaune.
