Today, only 8% of the abbey church remains, but many of the monastic buildings that made up Cluny Abbey are visible.
The map below shows the buildings as a whole: in white the elements that have disappeared, and in colour the buildings that you can discover throughout the tour.
Once you have passed through the Portes d'Honneur, you will enter the former Cluny Abbey like a pilgrim, where you will be able to discover the majestic remains that reflect only a small part of this building.
