The Hôtel-Dieu is a former hospital founded in 1443 by Nicolas Rolin, chancellor of the Duke of Burgundy, and his wife, Guigone de Salins. It is only when you step into the main courtyard that you see the flamboyant roof with varnished tiles, a shining symbol of ducal Burgundy and now world famous. A classified historical monument : Take an audioguide and let Nicolas Rolin and Guigone de Salins walk you through the unique history and day to day life of the Hôtel-Dieu, from the 15th century to the present day! Their crowning achievement, this richly endowed hospital fondation, stays true to their original mission and still provides care for the sick. Museum / Cultural shop / Prestigeous area to hire out

Took the tour of the museum, here in this small and charming town. The building is well preserved, stunning, painted roof tiles, a lovely courtyard and replicas of the hospice inside the museum. Very interesting how people were cared for, after a war, the sleeping areas, medical treatment and kitchen can all be seen in the museum.

We were 6 adults, 3 children of 3 years old and a baby. We took a full pass to all activities in the parc. Great combination of activities for both adults and children. There’s also a lot of space in all areas (we had a rather big stroller) and it’s very cool inside so good for hot summer days. Personell was really very friendly! The children also enjoyed it: the story of winery told in a playful way, all parts of the museum very interactive and attractive for children as well. Some parts are like an attraction parc, and we did not even have to pay for the children. The little train brings you to the garden, where there is also room for children to participate in the activities. We had a very pleasant day and were all very tired at the end of the day (you spend a whole day there). Food at noon was very good and not expensive at all. Also good facilities for children!

Situé en Bourgogne, sur les bords de Loire, le musée présente deux collections distinctes : le témoignage de nombreuses activités humaines liées à l’un des plus grands fleuves d’Europe, ainsi qu’une collection de peintures modernes. Ses collections sont présentées dans un cadre remarquable : l’ancien couvent des Augustins de la ville et son corps de garde attenant. Datant du XVIIe siècle, tous deux sont inscrits à l’inventaire des monuments historiques. Le musée de la Loire bénéficie de l’appellation « Musée de France » du Ministère de la Culture. Chaque année, le musée organise une à deux expositions temporaires autour de thématiques variées et de ses collections permanentes telles que la Loire, les beaux arts, l’art contemporain, l’histoire locale ou encore l’archéologie. Des conférences, des manifestations, des visites viennent ponctuer l'année. Des jeux, panneaux ou dispositifs interactifs permettent au plus grand nombre de découvrir les collections autrement.
