    The palace is huge; we saw an art exhibition inside, which was very interesting. It's nice to sit in the square afterwards, and people watch.  more »

    The power of the former Dukes of Burgundy is evident from the palace, part is now city hall and another the excellent Musée des Beaux-Arts.  more »

  • By Lawrence Tom
    Palace turned into a museum. There were a lot of amazing pieces of artwork and artifacts. The tombs were especially beguiling in their intricacies and detailing. I am continually awed by the workmanship and craftsmanship. I can barely write cursive anymore and couldn’t imagine wielding a carving tool to chisel out lace and filigree. I will stick to tapping on a keyboard and come back here to see the mastery of yesterday’s.
  • By John Higgins
    Absolutely amazing after its 10 year refurbishment programme, an absolute pleasure to visit, staff really helpful and relevant to the collection gifts in the shop.
