This flamboyant Gothic hotel dating from the 15th century bears witness to the wealth of a family of merchants in drapery, a very lucrative trade in the Middle Ages since everything was done with tissues. This hotel belonged to Henri de Chambellan, one of the great officers of the crown of France, that is to say one of the most important figures of the state in the 16th century, also mayor of Dijon from 1490 to 1493.
Returning inside the Chambellan hotel, after passing a long ribbed vaulted corridor, you can admire a two-store wooden gallery which connects the two parts of the building.
As you go up the stone staircase, you can observe at the top the statue of a gardener carrying a basket from which ribbed vaults emerge. On the facade it is also possible to see the coat of arms of the Chambellans, the characters who support it are not children.
This building is private, please respect the privacy of the owners and do not try to push the doors.
Access only on foot from 34 rue des Forges.
