The colorful splendor of this temple is dazzling. The Kagyu-Ling Buddhist Center is purportedly the first and largest Buddhist temple in all of Europe. There are 11 lamas at the centre, plus 30 lay residents. Ten men and five women are on retreat for the traditional three years, three months and three days following a rigorous and structured rhythm of life. Courses and seminars are given at the centre on yoga, relaxation, meditation and massage. Kagyu Ling, La Boulaye, is open to visitors every afternoon from 2:30 to 5:00. July and August also from 10.00 to 12.00. Unlike the other sites on our pilgrimage there was an admission charge to enter the temple (5 Euros if I remember correctly).

From the town of Toulon-sur-Arroux on the map, take D994 north to the hamlet of La Boulaye and then follow the signs for the Buddhist Temple. From Autun, take D994 south.
