This paper describes the work done to improve the visitor’s experience while visiting the historical site of Cluny abbey, in Burgundy (France). The church of this abbey, founded in 910 and which was the biggest church of Christendom until the 15th century, has been almost completly destroyed after the French Revolution and so is hard to figure out for the visitors. The usage of virtual reality is one of the way to improve the understanding of the architecture of the site.
