History and art

Moulins: the capital of the Bourbonnais, its cathedral and stage costumes

The old capital of the Dukes of Bourbon, with a national museum of stage costume.

About 29 km by road, around 31 minutes from the estate

Moulins was the seat of the Dukes of Bourbon. The cathedral of Notre-Dame de l'Annonciation is the home of the Triptych of the Master of Moulins, painted around 1500 for Pierre II of Bourbon and Anne of France.

The Centre national du costume de scène, in the former Villars barracks, is the other reason to come: a collection of costumes from the stage, shown in changing exhibitions.

What to do

Visit the cathedral in the old town, where a facsimile of the triptych stands in a choir chapel
See the current exhibition at the stage costume centre
Walk the old streets around the Jacquemart belfry
