Summary

[edit]
Description

One last look around <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluny" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Cluny</a> before we left the area.

After lunch went up some steps to check out more of the Cluny Abbey buildings. Mainly to see the Hôtel de Ville.


Rue de l'Abbatiale and Terrasse Abbatiale.

Jean de Bourbon Palace / Museum of Art and Archeology.

The Jean de Bourbon palace, a museum of art and archeology , is a rare example of flamboyant gothic seigniorial lodging with large halls decorated with monumental chimneys. It houses the outstanding works of the medieval sculpture of Cluny, coming from the town and the abbey. Not to be missed: the reconstruction of a part of the Grand Portail de Cluny III (tympanum, lintel, voussures, jambages), a masterpiece of Romanesque sculpture, and its digital film . The old library preserves rare prints inherited from the Cluniac library. From the palace one reaches the belvedere parvis of the great abbey church, the vestiges of its fore-nave and its five aisles, to the great courtyard of the abbey.


Abbot Jean de Bourbon (1456-85) built his palace to the north-west of the abbey, on land bought from the monks. Located near the main gate, it dominated the abbey church. The vast residence was characteristic of the second half of the 15th century.

The building underwent a few transformations, reworked in the 18th century. In 1864, while all of the monastic buildings were sold, Jean-Baptiste Ochier's widow donated the palace to the city, which converted it into a museum
