The Basilica of Paray-le-Monial, a Kluniac site, is one of the finest examples of Romanesque art in Burgundy. It is considered a “scaled-down model” of Cluny Abbey. The balance of its proportions and its racy elegance are particularly evident in the gradation of the headboard. The extreme elegance of the recently restored north portal, decorated with motifs inspired by Muslim art, can be admired. The basilica is a shining testimony to the Cluniac genius and is today fervently visited by pilgrims from all over the world. burgund-tourismus.com/kirchen-abteien-und-andere-religioese-bauwerke/basilique-du-sacre-coeur
