"Clothes of care: the costume of the hospital ladies
By the Hommage aux dames hospitalières de Beaune association

Wearing hennin and the traditional blue woollen cloth costume, members of the association explain how their costumes are made, and how they are patiently put together, piece by piece. Even more surprising... At the turn of a room, under the gallery or near the well, you're likely to meet a hospitable lady! The atmosphere of the 15th-century hospital, when the nuns passed through the building to go about their business, is recreated.
