Book the Royal Monastery of Brou, in the footsteps of Marguerite of Austria

A masterpiece of flamboyant gothic art

The royal monastery of Brou was born five centuries ago, from the love of an exceptional woman, Marguerite of Austria for her husband Philibert le Beau. Built at the gates of Bourg-en-Bresse at the beginning of the 16th century, this jewel of flamboyant gothic architecture houses three tombs: that of Philibert le Beau as well as that of his mother and the tomb of Marguerite of Austria.

A striking building, it captivates the visitor from the very first seconds, with its immaculate facades, its impressive glazed roof and its three vast cloisters. Of extreme refinement, the stained glass windows that adorn the chapels are original. Relating episodes from the Gospel, they depict Marguerite and Philibert, whose love continues to irradiate this exceptional monument.

Today the monastery of Brou is a cultural place which proposes shows, exhibitions, events... To live crazy stories in a place out of time.

Unbelievable reception areas

This monument also hosts private events and rents its spaces. You can rent :

  • The nave of the church, an essential part of the monastery that can accommodate up to 500 people. Between vaults and stained glass, this immense space can be arranged according to your needs (meetings, seminars, press conferences).
  • The 3 cloisters of the monastery have a capacity of 400 to 500 people each. These outdoor spaces are a fabulous setting for your cocktail parties, shows or concerts.
    In addition, the conference room and the upper gallery (always rented together), form a spacious and convivial space for colloquiums, conferences or meetings and training. With its complete equipment and its capacity of 90 people, this comfortable space is entirely modular. Advantage in winter... it is heated!
  • Endally, the large forecourt on the main façade can be used for commercial operations.

This place is breathtaking. The outside is beautiful and the inside is just amazing. Definitely worth the price of admission. Plan to allow yourself at least a few hours to enjoy and take in all the art, artifacts, and architecture this place has to offer.

A truly beautiful monastery. The vast majority of the interior is open to visit for a small entry fee. Interactive displays and videos bring the history of this great building to life. A large collection of artworks, traditional wooden toys and intricate architecture provides a pleasure filled visit for all. Learn about the history of monarchs who resided here or see how the building was constructed and adjusted over the years. This really is the crowning jewel of any visit to Bourg-en-Bresse. A must visit.

Amazing place, exceptionally preserved and restored. Not to miss if you are in the area and if you are a minimum sensitive to old church architecture and all associated arts, history and... just beauty!
