Listed as a Monument Historique, the Hôtel-Dieu dates back to 1767 and includes two monumental wards with enclosed beds, occupied until 1977. The use of plastered Bresse brickwork is enlivened by the use of pink Préty stone in the doorways and windows. A magnificent pediment evoking the parable of the Good Samaritan adorns the façade. Reserved for the poor, the building was miraculously spared during the Terror thanks to the Sainte-Marthe sisters, who had the bright idea of renaming it the "hospice de l'humanité" during the Revolution. But the jewel in the crown of the Hôtel-Dieu is without doubt its apothecary, certainly one of the finest in Europe, thanks to its absolutely incomparable collection of 15th and 16th century Hispano-Italo-Moorish lustre earthenware, complemented by a series of blown glasses. Also not to be missed is a late 15th-century pietà, in which the wooden Virgin, with her round face and maidservant drapery, kneels beside the dead Christ.
