Hospices de Beaune



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hospices_de_Beaune

The hospices are also referred to as "Hôtel-Dieu" - perhaps the opposite of "Hôtel-California." The rooftop dates from the 15th Century. It is a stunning mosaic. It is now a museum of sorts. The mannequi-nuns looked like Audrey Hepburn, doe-eyed and wafer-thin, except for the plump servant in the kitchen.
