France - Beaune, Hospices de Beaune and More


Beaune
Sise en bons murs
entoures de vignoble
Beaune je suis,
la premiere cite
ou le duc de Bourgogne
ait habite;
Si me voyez tant belle,
riche et noble.

Beaune
Located on good walls

If I see as beautiful,
rich and noble.

The Hospices de Beaune or Hôtel-Dieu de Beaune is a former charitable almshouse in Beaune, France. It was founded in 1443 by Nicolas Rolin, chancellor of Burgundy, as a hospital for the poor and needy. The original hospital building, the Hôtel-Dieu, one of the finest examples of French fifteenth-century architecture, is now a museum. Services for patients are now provided in modern hospital buildings.
