Parish churches
Notre-Dame’s church: Notre Dame Church is the
town’s main parish church in the heart of the town
centre. The urban power, often in disagreement with
that of the abbot, had set up its first town hall in this
square. The church is a fine
Gothic building, the porch
of which spread out onto the
square and was destroyed
just before the French Revolution.
Inside, the architectural
homogeneity is quite remarkable
and a beautiful light lights up this very stark building that
Pidou-Berlu watches over.
Saint Marcel’s Church is built on the site of the former Saint
Odon chapel, which dated from the end of the 11 th century.
The most remarkable part of the church is its Romanesque bell
tower: an octagonal tower topped with a long spire built in
the 16 th century.
The National Stud Farm
At the foot of the famous Abbey of Cluny, the National Stud
Farm was created in 1806, to meet the needs of Napoleon’s
army. Guided tours to discover this place and its occupants.
For children, interactive family visit based on a trail of the
senses. In the summer, two attractions offer a unique encounter
with the horses: Cluny Thursdays offering a presentation
of the horses, equestrian show....; and the equestrian cabarets, a dinner-show in the
prestigious setting of the Stud Farm.
