Cluny is a town in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France, known for its medieval Abbey of Cluny, which was once the largest abbey in the world. The abbey was founded in 910 and was a major spiritual center in the Middle Ages. Today, visitors can explore the remains of the abbey, including the impressive bell tower, and take a virtual tour using augmented reality. The town itself is charming, with winding cobbled streets, Romanesque houses, and a medieval atmosphere. Families can enjoy the town's surrounding fortifications, the Haras National stud farm, and the annual music festival, Les Grandes Heures de Cluny. The town is also a great base for exploring the surrounding countryside, including the vineyards of the Maconnais and Chalonnais, and the picturesque villages of the region
