The town of Cluny developed around the Benedictine monastery (Abbey of Cluny) founded in 910. The abbey was the origin and center of the Cluniac reform at the beginning of the 10th century. Cluny reached its peak membership at the beginning of the 12th century with about 400 monks. The last abbey church (Cluny 3) was the world's largest Romanesque basilica and, until the construction of the present-day St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, the largest church in Christendom. The church had seven towers. Although large parts of the structure were destroyed, the remaining relics are absolutely remarkable and make a visit to Cluny an unforgettable experience!

Jambles has belonged to the Abbey of Cluny since the 9th century. A writing by Saint Vincent de Chalon from 1263 mentions the presence of a hospital that received the sick, the homeless, and travelers at the place called Maison-Dieu in Jambles. At its center is a pretty fountain near a cross.
