クリュニーの町は、910年に設立されたベネディクト会修道院（クリュニー修道院）に隣接して発展しました。この修道院は、10世紀初頭のクリュニー改革の発祥地であり中心地でした。クリュニーは、12世紀初頭に約400人の修道士を擁して最盛期を迎えました。 最後の修道院教会（クリュニー3）は、世界最大のロマネスク様式のバシリカであり、現在のローマのサン・ピエトロ大聖堂が建設されるまで、キリスト教世界最大の教会でした。この教会には7つの塔がありました。 建造物の大部分は破壊されましたが、残された遺構は絶対に注目に値するものであり、クリュニーへの訪問を忘れられない体験にしてくれます！

The residence of the Marquis d'Huxelles, built between 1606 and 1625, is home to the most sumptuous Louis XIII apartment preserved in France. Fireplaces, ceilings and wood panelling were painted, carved and gilded with sumptuous exuberance for the favourite of Queen Marie de Medici. Paintings, tapestries and period furniture complete this seductive evocation of "château life" at the time of the "Three Musketeers". The tour also reveals a monumental stone staircase (20 metres high), an 18th century kitchen and the opulent 1900s salons of an opera director. The garden, in the spirit of the Baroque period, offers 12 hectares of flowerbeds, a large boxwood labyrinth with aviary-belvedere, vegetable garden, green theatre, water features and remarkable trees.

I wanted to go there at the beginning of October but it was too muddy for my gyroroue. I'll try again in summer

Founded in 910, Cluny Abbey was a powerful centre of the Benedictine order and influenced the spiritual and cultural life of all of Europe at its height. Today, although much of the abbey was destroyed during the French Revolution, you can still explore the remaining parts of the vast complex, including the majestic bell tower and restored cloister.

Impressive views over southern Burgundy and Haut-Beaujolais

Attractive church to visit

Main reason for visiting Cluny - but well worth the time.

Cluny Abbey was at its time the largest Romanesque church in the world. The parts that remain today following its dismantling remain impressive, notably its immense tower. The Cluny City Museum of Art and Archeology adjoins the main entrance to the church ruins.
