The cloisters odyssey

When we talk about the French in New York, everyone thinks of the Statue of Liberty. But in the north of Manhattan, far from the tourist trail, the Cloisters Museum houses other fragments of France, and important ones at that. Despite being part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this medieval department feels like a Pyrenean abbey arranged round four cloisters imported from Occitania at the beginning of the 20th century. The film tells the story of this extraordinary adventure.
