Today, Burgundy is known all over the world for the prestigious wines and the gastronomy. However, at the beginning of the second Millenium, Burgundy earned its reputation for its spiritual influence throughout Europe. In these days, the Abbey of Cluny was the religious centre of Europe, and many “daughters of Cluny”(other abbeys under the influence of Cluny) were built everywhere, particularly in Southern Burgundy.

The fact that the South of Burgundy counts a large number of Romanesque monuments is easily explained by the big influence of the Abbey of Cluny during the Middle Ages.

We invite you to discover and explore some of these hidden Romanesque treasures of Southern Burgundy.
