Cluny, in Saône-et-Loire, has been famous throughout the world since the Middle Ages, when the Benedictine abbey, a huge masterpiece of Romanesque art, extended its influence from Burgundy to the boundaries of Mediaeval Europe. Apart from its abbey, the town boasts an exceptional heritage composed of many houses dating back to the 12th and 14th centuries and a remarkable Hôtel Dieu. The regional horse riding pole, composed of a National Stud, a racecourse, horse riding facilities and the presence of ENSAM all contribute towards the town’s dynamism. Nature lovers will appreciate the Voie Verte, specially designed for ramblers, cyclists and roller-skaters. Not to forget the magnificent landscapes of Solutré, Mont Saint Romain and the surrounding Charolais region.
