Prieuré du Bourget, Medieval priory in Le Bourget-du-Lac, France.
The Priory encompasses a central cloister with Gothic and Romanesque galleries, combining domestic rooms and spiritual spaces across multiple architectural periods.
Founded in 1030 by Abbot Odilon of Cluny, the priory housed seven permanent monks until 1582, when Jesuits took over the establishment.
The chapter house contains a bronze sculpture of the Duchesse de Choiseul, while the kitchen displays a 15th-century fireplace with the Luyrieux family crest.
The property includes French formal gardens with sculpted yew trees and walking paths, open to visitors throughout the year without entrance fees.
The library features a Cordoue leather ceiling installed in the early 20th century, though its original function remains unknown.
