Cluny Abbey of Cluny France Bourgogne-Franche-Comté
With Captions
Cluny Abbey is Benedictine monastery dedicated to St Peter and Paul and was founded in 910 by the Duke William I of Aquitaine. Over the centuries the Abbey grew as one of the most influential theological and religious centres. It has been considered that the Cluny Abbey was the mother house for more than 1000 monasteries and seat of the largest monastic order, the Cluniac Order.
The Abbey went into decline in the late Middle Ages mainly for financial reasons. In the 15th century abbot Jean de Bourbon made efforts to solve rising problems, however, it was unable to reverse the downfall. The process has been accelerated by the religious wars in the 16th century.
In the 18th century a vast building program was introduced in order to rebuild the monastery and to revive the glory and influence of the great Cluny Abbey and Cluniac order. So the medieval buildings were destroyed and new neoclassicals were raised.
The French revolution put the final accord of the annihilation of once the greatest and most influential theological center in the Medieval Christian world - Cluny Abbey. In the 19th century remaining buildings were sold off.
The town of Cluny developed thanks to the economic activities generated by the abbey. In Cluny you may see over 140 Medieval houses, mainly Romanesque style, built between the 11th and 14th centuries. Some of them still have their original facade decoration.

This is a unique approach to a documentary/travelogue. Definitely a "you are there" feel (street noises included). No endless chattering about meaningless facts - no commentary at all except what you can read when you wish in the description. The camera work was well done and the captioning was excellent. I hope this minimalist approach to travel videos catches on. It was especially helpful to me after having read about Cluny and watched some videos on the history. Thank you.

I wish France was a Kingdom today. A Monchary. So sad & such a shame its not anymore. R.I.P French Royalists. R.I.P gone Kingdom of France. 💔😟😔🙏🤲⛪️👑🤴⚜️⚜️⚜️➕️✝️

[@travelwithrado]

I do agree with you. I wish the French Revolution had never occurred, then the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 would not have happened either. France as a Kingdom would have been quite different.

[@robnewman6101]

Thank you very much my friend.

All the other Royal Kingdom Countries so Badly Feared that the Revolution would spread across Europe. Under great Threat! 😨😟☠️ Not good.
