The Hôtel-Dieu, historic monument.

Flourishing tourist activity

Each year, more than 400,000 tourists visit the Hôtel-Dieu, which today covers a large area of the town of Beaune, with its museum, three courtyards, outbuildings, 15^th century bastion and hundreds of metres of cellars which contain, notably, the personal reserve of the Hospices.
The four buildings open to the public, around the court of honour, represent the Hôtel-Dieu of former times.

The beauty of the interiors is equal to that of the exterior.

In the great salle des pauvres ("hall of the poor"), decorated with multicoloured beams which are unique in the world, reigns a serenity which will leave no one unmoved. The rooms of Sainte-Anne, Saint-Nicolas, Saint-Hugues and Saint-Louis are overflowing with treasures: statues, furniture, pottery, paintings, tapestries…and the kitchen has been restored exactly as it was in the 19^th century.

The Polyptych of The Last Judgement, a master work by the Flemish painter Rogier Van Der Weyden has been particularly well presented in an air-conditioned room.

The Hôtel-Dieu is opened to the public every day of the year.
