“a place to see”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 17, 2012

Apart from its wine, beaune is weel known for its ancient hospital. It is a beautiful place (i love the roofs in burgundy) where people used to get cured in the past. You can visit the hospital the way it was in the past, the place is well preserved. I think they should give more information in each room for... More

“Must-do”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 8, 2012

The most famous landmark in Beaune, and well worth a visit. I'm always disappointed when our guests (surprisingly often) skip the visit as it's such an interesting and authentic experience. More

“Marvelous”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 6, 2012

I found this to be one of the most memorable sites we saw in our two weeks in France. Representing the beautiful love story of a devoted couple, an incomparable use of extreme wealth for philanthropy, astounding compassion for the ill (in the 1400s!), and an extraordinarily well-preserved site with stunning architecture, this museum is well worth going out of...

As much as anything we decided to visit to get out of the rain, and we were jolly pleased we did. It was a quite fascinating and informative tour, thanks to the audio link provided as part of the 7 euro entrance fee. It also gives one the opportunity to get the best view of the wonderful coloured roof of... More
