Inaugurated in 1452, the Grande Salle des Pôvres (Great Hall of the Poor) was the largest and most sumptuous - in terms of furniture, framework, tiling, stained-glass windows, and wall decorations - of the rooms intended for the sick in the Hospices de Beaune. Its integrated chapel also symbolized the symbiosis between the religious and medical aspects of the Hôtel-Dieu. Guigone de Salins, the co-founder of the Hospices de Beaune, is indeed buried there, under a copper plate. Other more modest rooms, such as the Saint-Hugues room created in 1645 at the instigation of Hugues Bétault or the Saint-Nicolas room equipped with twelve beds were also assigned to the sick.
