Cluny
Abbaye de Cluny
Abbaye de Cluny/Cluny Abbey was one of the most important capitals in Christian Europe and can be explored by visitors today from either Lyon (1-hour drive) or Mâcon, the closest city.
Cluny Abbey was at one time the head of a network of nearly 1,400 dependencies and around 10,000 monks across Europe.
