A two-voice tour. In partnership with the Abigaïl Mathieu association
Closed to the public for several years due to nearby demolition work, the former hospital is opening its doors again for this two-voice tour of the tin room and the nuns' refectory, led by a guide from the Villes et Pays d'art et d'histoire association and a volunteer from the Abigaïl Mathieu association.
The tin room is the end of a large vaulted gallery that began on the Saône side, at the main entrance to the hospital from the 16th to the 19th century. This gallery served the patients' wards, the hospital kitchens and the sisters' refectory. The wood panelling in this room dates from the late 17th and early 18th centuries. From the same period dates a large piece of furniture, listed as a Historic Monument, typical of hospital furniture (2.71 x 6.18 x 0.61 m). Its length makes it one of the largest pieces of furniture of this type to be seen in Burgundy.
This is where the nuns would have distributed bread and soup to the needy.
The sisters' refectory, built in the early 18th century, is adorned with rocaille-style woodwork (featuring plant decorations, curves and asymmetrical motifs).
