Beaune - Hôtel-Dieu

Beaune - Hôtel-Dieu
Tired tourists in front of the "Hôtel-Dieu de Beaune" (aka "Hospices de Beaune") in Beaune. The "Hôtel-Dieu" was founded in 1443 by Nicolas Rolin, chancellor of Burgundy, and his wife Guigone de Salins as a hospital for the poor. The complex actually served as a hospital until the 1970s, when the largest part was converted into a museum.

Over the centuries generous benefactors made donations to the hospital, not only woods and works of art but as well vineyards.

Since 1859 "Les Trois Glorieuses" takes place here in November. This is a three-day festival and charity wine auction. The Domaine des Hospices de Beaune owns around 61 hectares of vineyard land, much of this classified Grand and Premier cru.

You are right, the roofs have wonderful multicolour-tiles - on the
other side of the building, all around the inner courtyard.
