LEC

I don’t really think it’s worth the money the museum. The art museum is very limited with only a few paintings and seeing the Abbey from the outside is pretty much like seeing any other Abby for free in France. But at night, it is amazing to be outside with a beautiful light shining on it

We unfortunately arrived late after closing. However, the staff still went above and beyond to map out a walking tour of all the key sites that didn’t need admission. We had a such a good time exploring around town.

Although the lavish, grand architectural style of the abbey didn't speak to me, it is a wonderful historic site of great significance in the Christian history of Europe and well worth a visit. Cluny is a lovely town with many places to eat (very well). I've written a separate review for one of them.

Lovely but tiny. Not worth a long trip and the village has no facilities

We visited with group. I overheard our group head talked to receptionist and found that we can come for free (I think there is certain condition people who can come for free). So please check before you buy a ticket. The monastery is huge. Located in old town. For renting audio, it costs €3 If you have single jack for earphone, bring it! It’s easier to hear the audio and you don’t need to hold the audio like you are in the middle of calling someone :)) Unfortunately in many area there is no information at all.

Going there was not super planned for us on our holidays. But it absolutely was worth it! The place is spectacular. Super big with nice explanations and visuals on how it looked once it was build. We were really in the atmosphere of medieval period !

This beautiful little town has a lot to offer if you're cruising through the back roads of Burgundy, and the Abbey is a spectacular way to spend the day if you enjoy history and ancient buildings. Besides the ruins and restorations, there are 3D films and models to dazzle you. Don't skimp on adding the Tour des Fromages toi your visit (spoiler alert - it's nothing to do with cheese). Don't be put off by the declaration of how many steps there are to climb, the view is worth it.

It is unfortunate that a majority of the place was dismantled and sold off. The place is in a constant state of renovation. There was a nice film explaining the history and the audio guide helped walk us through what was left on the place. Stepping outside and seeing where the footings are represented on the ground shows the shadow of the size of the Abby at one time. So little is left that I don’t know if the money to learn about it is worth it.
