It’s very nicely done and not too expensive. There was no wait when I went so I was happy about that. I found the history interesting and listened to most of the audio. My mom was waiting for me so I didn’t want to spend hours there. It’s a beautiful building.

Beaune is famous for wine and this impressive former hospital for the poor. The Burgundian roofs and architecture are beautiful to see and it is famous with tourists. You can get an audioguide and explore the history of the halls. Every year in Nocember is the charity wine auction as the hospices also have their own vinyards.

1/4/23 Very interesting museum in a former hospital that was in use up to 1984! Tells the story of how the hospital worked over time and daily life there. Also a must visit for medieval art and architecture enthusiasts as the place is full of it. Displays are informative with the provision of an audio guide which can be in English and French.

Such a fascinating building and history. I was amazed and it definitely surpassed my expectations. I definitely recommend the museum. The collection of chests was great. I was surprised by the inner courtyard, the pharmacy, the Kitchen, the main doom with its roof and the little chapel.

Hôtel-Dieu Museum - Hospices de Beaune is an absolute must-visit! Taking the guided tour is highly recommended to fully immerse yourself in the rich history of this place. While many flock to the region for wine tasting at the numerous châteaux, don't overlook the incredible beauty and fascinating history here. The museum provides valuable insights into the evolution of medicine and leaves you pondering how far we've come, yet how little we've advanced in some aspects. It's an incredibly interesting and thought-provoking experience that shouldn't be missed.

Very impressive building from the 15th century. Created to provide hospital facilities to the poor, it continued to provide medical services into the late 20th century. The price of entry includes a self- controlled audio tour about life in the Hospices through its history.

This is a stupendous historical landmark of great significance not only in Beaune but of France. Founded in the mid fourteen hundred as a charitable organisation for the poor and the disadvantaged, this Hospices de Beaune was realised. The entrance with its majestic walls are a fantastic introduction to the rest of this gorgeous building. The building inside is a rectangular central courtyard surrounded by the original setting of the hospital. The austere Burgundy glazed terracotta tiles are absolutely magnificent. You are allowed access to almost every rooms in this building except the verandah rooms upstairs as they weren't accessible to the public when I visited. But, I was in for a real treat! I could almost sense the dedicated works of nurses and doctors and everyone involved in this institution all those years ago! I spent an hour and a bit exploring this place. There's wheelchair accessible entrance but just be aware of the uneven surface of the forecourt. There's public lavatory and a gift shop. I walked from Gare de Beaune here and I didn't notice public transportation from the station. This is mindblowingly a must explore and visit historical landmark in Beaune. I'm currently staying in Dijon on holidays and you can easily catch a train to and from Beaune and fairly regular train services. Ten out of ten!

Historical landmark which served as the first ever hospital in the world. The place have a rich history and a nice audio guided tour. I would say this is this is the main attraction in Beaune.

I had the pleasure of visiting the Hôtel-Dieu Museum and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! The museum is housed in a stunning historical building and the exhibits were fascinating and well-presented. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly, and the audio guide was informative. My young daughters especially enjoyed the child friendly version of the guide. Watch out for the river under the hospital! I highly recommend this museum to anyone interested in history, art, or medicine. Definitely deserving of 5 stars!

Sehr interessantes Museum. Die Eintrittskarte beinhaltet ein Audiogerät für einen individuellen Rundgang. Einfacher wäre es, wenn das Ding Kopfhörer hätte. Man muss es sich konstant ans Ohr halten. Dauer Rundgang ca. 1,5 Stunden Tickets vor Ort zu kaufen. Parken in Beaune kann etwas knifflig sein. Überall Parkuhren. Das Museum hat keine Parkplätze.

Sehr eindrucksvolle Einblicke in die Krankenversorgung um 1500 . Wir waren erstaunt und ergriffen was damals alles möglich gemacht wurde um Armen und Benachteiligten Menschen zu helfen. Die Stadt selbst ist auch sehr einladend, schöne Gassen und Cafés. Wir waren auf dem Campingplatz und der Weg in die Stadt ist nicht weit . Wir waren hier am 05.05.2023

a wonderful visit to France's 14th century past - an inspired venue dedicated towards healing men & women's hearts, body and souls. Thank you Emerald river cruises for organizing this wonderful excursion.

Beautiful hospice/hospital of the 15th century. They preserved the appearance really well. To fully appreciate the audio guide and tour the entire place, would recommend to set aside at least 2 hours

This place is amazing. Bever thought that a private own hospital could be this cozy and welcoming, especially during the revolution days. The facilities are surprisingly well preseved and protected for the visitors to know about that period of time. If it wasn't that sunny, I would love to spend more time there just to listen to the bells from the tower.

A visit to the Hospices in Beaune is an absolute must! The displays are authentic and the information provided is great. An excellent collection of Burgundian Medieval art and architecture. Recommend buying the tickets online and avoid the long queues.

A must see. An historical monument that's full of interest and home to a fabulous altar polyptic. Keenly priced, with free audioguides.

The hospice is definitely worth a stop. The very detailed audio information played on demand via a special phone provided was a great addition to the basic tour. It is an amazing place that was set up by a nobleman in the 1400s.

Interesting and varied museum with a variety of rooms, in a lovely building with mock ups of the hospital, kitchen rooms and pharmacy for this medieval hospital for the poor.

Beautiful building with a fascinating history. We had a great tour. It was the highlight of a great day in Beaune. If possible, visit on a market and shop in the markets after.

Strikingly beautiful historical edifice, beautifully curated and great audio tour (included in entry price).

Thank god for audio guides in English 😊 Amazing place...enjoyed listening to the audio about each details of history in this place.

Great place to visit, so many history inside…I have been there with my 11 years old son and he was also very interested, the place is very well maintained and organized, definitely a must go if you are in Beaune!

Very interesting and astoundingly beautiful museum which was a hospital in the early modern age. If you are anywhere near Beaune, this is certainly worth checking out. Cheap admission includes audio tour which is available in many languages. Great trip through 16th-18th century history.

This is a must see if you are in the area. The building is definitely unique with a great story spanning centuries. The self-guided tour (with individual devices for narration) takes up to 2 hours.

We visited on a half market day via tour bus and enjoyed the area. Restrooms were not bad. There are many places to have lunch and shady spots to relax. The market packed up at 1, so get there early if you want to check it out!

Super place. Well worth an hour away from the wine in Beaune. Beautiful building and interesting displays in an old hospital. Audio guide and plan provided. Good value.

Sleepy little town with amazing architecture. The hospice with its beautiful roof was especially lovely. Wandered through the narrow streets and came upon an impressive looking church.

Beautiful place! Photos don’t do it justice. The Audio guide in English was extremely comprehensive and really gave you an impression of what it would have been like at different points in history. Really recommend.

A must-see when visiting Beaune. The tour makes you travel through time in this institution founded in the mid-15th century by a couple, whose dedicated time and money to build a hospital for those in needs. You'll get to see the pharmacy (not the real one), the kitchen (the most preserved room), the patient room (beds for two, two lines of 15beds), and eventually a newly erected building where the paintings (hidden in the cave) were saved from wars, fire and flood. Entrance costs 10 (13 for the tour guide) euros. Don't forget to book online.

Such a beautiful experience! The place was almost empty (visited in January). PS: Beaune is a museum in itself. Truly beautiful city.

The Hôtel-Dieu Museum, located within the Hospices de Beaune in France, is a fascinating historical site. The museum showcases the former hospital's rich history, featuring impressive architecture, vibrant tapestries, and a collection of medical instruments. Visitors can explore the iconic Polychrome Room, known for its stunning timber ceiling. The museum provides insight into medieval healthcare practices and the charitable work of the Hospices. Overall, it's a captivating blend of history and art, offering a unique glimpse into the past.

An old Hospice dating back to the Hundred Years War. Some interesting exhibits. My favourite was the stovenin the kitchen are - those goose taps 🔥

Preorder tickets online and feel free to ask the Lady in the last room for details and stories

Wonderful place to visit. I highly recommend the guided audio tour, which provides color to the history.

Very organised and clear for tourists to understand all details and information about such an incredible historic site. I really recommend visiting it, it will open your mind on how great the stories behind it are.

Fascinating tour of here in August 2019. Such a beautiful building and stunning example of this kind of patterned multi coloured tiled roof seen once within the courtyard.

The Hôtel-Dieu or Hospices de Beaune is the main historical architecture of the city of Beaune. It is a one-of-a-kind late-Gothic style palace perfectly preserved from the Middle Ages, to be absolutely visited.!

Great visit of this historic hospital. Makes you be happy to live now in the 21st century with all its modern medicin. The place is extremely well maintained but quite crowded. It is worth spending much longer than we did. Overall a good experience.

Well worth a visit. Amazing architecture and comprehensive exhibits. The audio guide was very interesting. Visited in June, no queues!

I would give 5 if wasn't for the steward who around 18:55 began to push to leave the Hospices. The rest have been a nice visit, the history concerned and the architecture are something marvelous.

Absolutely a MUST VISIT. I understand that a lot of people come to visit and drink wines at the many châteauxs But this place has great beauty and wonderful history. It tells us how FAR medicine has come ! And at times, how little we have advance? It's super interesting.

The chateau has got to be one of the best in France. We have visited a few and most are empty, this chateau/museum is full of interest from military hardware- jet planes to historic Le Mans racing cars and motorcycles through the ages. The collection of model planes , bikes etc is mind blowing and the chateau is stunning. An interesting 2 hrs!
