1. Hospices de Beaune

Visit Hôtel Dieu to see one of the most iconic images of Beaune, the building’s beautiful tiled roof. While it looks palatial, Hôtel Dieu was built as a humble hospital for the poor. The hospital opened as the Hospices de Beaune in the 15th century and welcomed patients until the late 20th century, when it became a museum. The building features soaring ceilings, ample skylights and a beautiful courtyard, which is a great place to admire the intricate pattern of the roof.
