France Day 3 - Hospices

We had lunch back in the old town of Beaune, and then in the afternoon went to tour the , which is an old hospital that’s been restored and turned into a museum. In one of the rooms all the beds have been refurnished in their original places, along the sides of a long hall where the poor could come for medical treatment. At the end of the hall was a chapel, separated from the “unclean” by wooden barriers and velvet curtains, all under a high vaulted ceiling painted with coloured patterns. In some of the other, smaller rooms were the quarters of the rich, a room for those nearing death, a pharmacy and laboratory, and a kitchen.

Mixing stuff for drugs ;D

Bottles of herbs and chemicals

I totally agree -- they need to make some less frightening nurses.
