Moulins Tour Part II

Here is the second part of my Moulins tour, the sights! However there isn't actually that many sights. A couple of museums, which are often closed, and two cathedrals. So I'll show you around old Moulins and you can see one of the Cathedrals! Enjoy!




If you can't see the above video you can watch it here: http://youtu.be/z_fGINv_RcY


Also I didn't include this story in the video:

The Jacquemart family lives in the Jacquemart bell tower. Every fifteen minutes the family rings the bells. The kids ring it on 15 min and 45 min and the parents ring it on the hour and at half past the hour. They're not a real family, but rather a family of statues ... that move. I was told this story my first day here, while I was still really jet-legged, and I was told it in French. I was confused for a short while, wondering why the family lives in the tower, and how the kids feel about having to ring the bell so often, and what happens if they're late. Then I realized that it wasn't a real family.
