After a lunch and wine break, we visited the Hostel Dieu where we experienced the fascinating story of Nicolas Rolin, chancellor of the Duke of Burgundy, who founded and funded this charitable hospital in the 1400's. It continued to operate until 1976 when a new hospital was built in Beaune. The slate roof and interior architecture were grand to see in person. The patients in the shown infirmity were tended by an order of Sisters thoughout the years. At this point we were wearing down and required another hydration break and then returned home for the evening.
