The historic hospital is a must-see

The Hôtel-Dieu is a former hospital in Beaune. It was founded in 1443 and used as a hospital until 1971. The Hôtel-Dieu is now part of the Hospices Civils de Beaune complex. Today, parts of the old complex are used as a retirement home, while the rest can be visited as a museum, providing interesting insights into nursing in the early modern period.

Now it’s off to Beaune or the vineyards!

The Porte Saint-Nicolas is a former 18th-century city gate located in the French town of Beaune (Rue de Lorraine). Traffic entering Beaune from the north had to pass through the Porte du Bourgneuf. This gate was fortified and had a drawbridge. In the 18th century, the ramparts of Beaune lost their military function. Beaune was fortified as a border town with Franche-Comté, but in 1678 this region was annexed to France.

The gate does not fit stylistically with the medieval city wall and is clearly the result of a later need for recognition. From here you can walk eastwards along a large part of the city wall, which is often still intact.

This 15th century hospital is a must-see; the impressions are overwhelming.

Beaune is a real insider tip that you shouldn’t miss.

The old fortified gate with drawbridge, known as the Porte du Bourgneuf, saw the arrival of many important figures: Henry II, accompanied by Catherine de Medici, was received by the canons in 1548 under a freshly painted triumphal arch with the sound of tambourines; Charles IX, accompanied by the Queen Mother, stayed briefly in 1594 and the gate was decorated again when Louis XIII entered in 1629 on his way to the Alps and Queen Anne of Austria the following year. The most pompous entry, however, was that of Louis XIV and the Queen on 19 and 20 November 1658, when the canon was fired. Since 1770, the new grand gate, which Mayor Maufoux wanted to bring the city up to date and which was designed by the architect Lenoir Le Romain from Dijon, has welcomed visitors from the north. http://www.remparts-beaune.fr/
