Cluny

We were on the trail of medieval France. It led to Cluny. We knew that there wasn't much left, but we had no clue what had taken its place. It turns out that the grounds of the old monastery have been turned into an engineering college. We had the good fortune to arrive on some sort of initiation day, featuring the students in their dress lab coats. Each coat was unique and remarkably lacking in French imagery and verbiage.
