This is Laetitia and you are listening to Cultivate Your French podcast, the slow version of One Thing In A

French Day podcast.
I hope you are well and happy.

In today’s episode, I take you to Paris, at the Musée de Cluny, national museum of middle ages. This week’s episode is published in two parts. Yesterday, I gave you the information about a fabulous chef d’œuvre from the Middle Ages : the golden altar frontal of the Basel Cathedral. You learnt in which cirumstances the altar frontal left the cathedral to be sold at auction in 1835. In today’s episode Christine Descatoire, curator at the museum, tells you more about who bought it and how it became part of the Musée de Cluny’s collection.

Thank you so much for your enthousiasm about the podcast!
