A chapel of artistic perfection
Gherardino, Dec 2024
To advertise this monument as a "private tour" is sheer nonsense. The monastery is open to the public. Anyone travelling from Geneva, Dijon or Basel to Lyon, and of course in the opposite direction, has to pass Bourg-en-Bresse. He or she should forget what he or she already knows: Bresse chickens have long been available at many markets. What many do not know, however, is the importance and beauty of a monastery, the Monastère Royal de Brou, which also justifies detours. It contains a burial site of architectural uniqueness. Margaret of Austria, one of the great personalities of the 16th century, had it built for her husband, Philibert the Fair, who lies in the centre, flanked by his mother and his wife, whose own, also "two-story" burial site extends into a chapel of artistic perfection.

Bonjour
Je vous remercie pour votre avis, par contre, je pense que vous vous êtes trompés de destinataire, car je n’ai pas travaillé avec votre couple.
Mais je vais vous expliquer ce que veut dire visite privée,car c’est l’intitulé de ma visite.
Bien évidemment le monastère de Brou est un musée, c’est un lieu public et il y a d’autres visiteurs dans le musée.
Cette visite est privée car je propose mes services de guide-chauffeur pour votre groupe et il n'y aura pas d’autres personnes dans la voiture et pendant les visites selon le programme.
Cette visite est proposée pour des personnes qui viennent visiter Lyon, en général en avion et souhaitent explorer des lieux intéressants autour de Lyon.
Et pour ce fait, c’est une visite privée, avec votre guide individuel, qui vous accompagne et donne des explications sur la région, les monuments, les traditions et l’histoire.
Ce qui concerne le poulet de Bresse
Il n’est pas vendu dans tous les supermarchés, car c’est un produit de luxe, et il est assez cher.
Ce poulet est peut-être exporté, et peut-être est vendu partout en France, mais sa zone de production se trouve autour de Bourg en Bresse. Donc, ce poulet fait partie des traditions de cette région, et notamment des spécialités culinaires. Par ailleurs, en tant que guide, je donne suffisamment d’explications et d'anecdotes sur le poulet de Bresse durant cette visite. En France, derrière chaque produit il y a une histoire. C’est une des raisons pour laquelle la gastronomie française est classée au Patrimoine Mondial de l'Unesco
Et dans tous les cas, je confirme que le Musée de Brou est une merveille de la région. C’est un des musées le mieux aménagé et qui mérite un détour.
