In this case, Beaune – but what better representation of a Leproserie than the magnificent building on the outskirts of Meursault. Next time that you eat at Le Soufflot or Goutte d’Or – take 10 minutes to walk around this splendid relic of a building.
- The Maladière de Beaune: “In the shadow of the Grand Hostel Dieu, many other hospitals existed in Beaune. One of the most important was the Maladière, an institution in charge of one of the most feared diseases of ancient times: leprosy.“

Yes, I’ve watched it being built during the last couple of years… with large intervals of course. Unfortunately, this is a broken link Bill. Try again? Google has problems finding it too…
Hmm – try again 🙂
Thanks for the heads-up, Mike
My pleasure and thanks! I will have a good read soon.
