Visiting in temperatures above 30°C, this magical place presented itself to me perfectly. Shade, coolness, and a top-notch beer! Just like the welcome.

Absolutely a must see. It is not crowded and you literally have all the space to view the chateau and the other rooms with beautiful collections. A relaxing park where you walk through to see the other collections. To conclude, the castle and a small drink of coffee, wine or ice cream available. Across the street is a catering facility.

Originally, this building was a convent of the Ursulines, built in 1697. The church of the Ursuline convent featured a bell tower and was open to the public for mass. Its walls were adorned with statues, paintings, and fleur-de-lis, remnants of which were still visible in the 1940s. The Ursuline sisters provided education to the daughters of notable families within this enclosed complex. In 1790, during the French Revolution, the convent was declared National Property along with other religious buildings in Beaune. By 1793, the municipal administration, needing more space, purchased the convent. A fire in 1815 led to extensive renovations, giving the building its current appearance. By 1818, the facade was decorated with regal and military symbols.
