Of course, a visit to the famous Hospices de Beaune should not be missed. It is one of France's most historic, prestigious monuments and also the city's biggest attraction. You can walk a complete route along the city walls, but you can also choose to go in a different direction in the meantime, for example in the direction of the centre.
This “Hôtel-Dieu” is a pearl from the Burgundian Middle Ages, built in the 15th century to help the sick most in need. Behind the sober slate roofs at the front is the beautiful courtyard (le cour d'honneur), around which buildings are located with beautiful roofs with glazed tiles and high dormer windows. During our visit we also admire: the impressive salle des Pôvres (infirmary for the poor), the Gothic chapel, the kitchen and the pharmacy. We also see a painting by a Flemish master: the polyptych of the Last Judgment by Rogier van der Weyden.
